    In the historic mill of Sanssouci (historische-muehle-potsdam.de/), which was rebuilt in the 1990s as a reconstruction of the built from 1787 to 1791 Dutch mill, there is a mill museum. In addition, the mill offers a beautiful view over the park. In summer, as is generally the case in Sanssouci, there is a lot of activity here; It is especially nice here in the evenings of the postseason.

      This is a nice practice session to run because it goes uphill and is rewarded with a great view. Lets go great

        As in probably every other profession, there were also a few so-called “black sheep” among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. The popular children's book author Otfried Preußler recounts the following short episode in "The Flight to Egypt":
        "And they didn't even get all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but there was a mill on their way, the Klostermühle, where they lodged until the next morning. At first, the Klostermühlen miller was almost shocked when the Imperial and Royal Gendarmerie suddenly knocked on his door: There had been some disputes with a customer last week about a few sacks of milling material, which had inexplicably disappeared from the mill here [...] but it could have been that he was reported for it anyway - and now they're coming for him... so, of course, all the disputed sacks of milling material immediately fell from the Klostermühlen miller's mind, just as [Sergeant] Hawlitschek was now simply requesting a place to stay for the night."
