Windmill Idafehn

If you drive on from Ostrhauderfehn to Idafehn, after some time you will come to this mill on the right hand side after Idafehn Nord. In 1891 the good piece including the miller's house and - which is particularly appealing - the bakery was built. Of course, there was some damage over the next hundred years. The world wars were a devastating event here too. But thanks to restorative efforts by the "Möhlenkring Idafehn" mill association, the mill has been in all its splendor since 2001.

In 2001, the newly built by the municipality Ostrhauderfehn mill in the district Idafehn has been completed. It was built in 1891 with a miller's house and a bakery by the farmer Heinrich Lanwer from Strücklingen. The originally two-story gallery dutchman was from the beginning with two Mahlgängen and a Peldegang equipped. In November 1972, the mill fell victim to a hurricane. From the mill only a stump stump remained. After a 2-year construction period, the gallery dutchman 2001 again shone in new splendor. The mill and the two-storey extension serve as an information center and meeting room for local clubs and groups. There is also the possibility to get married in the mill.

If you are traveling through Osthrauderfehn and Idafehn in the direction of Strücklingen, you will pass by quickly. but the few meters to the mill are a detour, which I gladly accept myself. Maybe not the prettiest mill in the region, but certainly worth seeing.
