In Edewecht-Westerschepen is this beautiful windmill, which was built in 1888 and since 1900 in the possession of the Oltmann family, which still takes care of it today. The mill's technology is still intact and you can even see it up close. If you are interested, you can call here: Anna and Rolf Kaptein, Tel. 04405/272

This Wallholländer was built in 1888.
This Wallholländer was built in 1888. In 1900 the mill was leased by the Oltmanns family and master miller Georg Oltmanns then bought it in 1904.

In the beginning, wind power was used for milling. In 1908, the milling process was additionally operated by a steam engine. After the installation of an electrical grinding plant in 1959, the mill was in operation for the production of animal feed until the 1980s. In 1998 major renovations were carried out on the mill. The mill cap was renovated and the wings, the cod-end and the sprue bar were renewed and the facing was repointed.

In 2001, the Peldegang, which was used to produce pearl barley to supply the population during the war years, was repaired and put into operation.
