    A monument and landmark of the Gönna Valley!
    Built around 1740, the post mill in Krippendorf served as a guide for combatants during the Double Battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806. According to legend, it was spared because the miller's three daughters fell to their knees before Napoleon. The surrounding villages in the Gönna Valley fared differently, being pillaged. The post mill also survived World War II.
    It did not survive Storm Kyrill in 2007, but it was rebuilt.

      Our post mill enriches the Gönna valley near Jena as a landmark. We Krippendorfer run the functional monument together with mill friends from near and far. A project that has only succeeded today thanks to countless supporters and can only succeed in the future as a community.

        Wars survived, generations survived, just not Storm Kyrill 2007.
        Fortunately, the reconstruction took place!
