    The mill was built in 1825 as a post windmill, and remained in operation until 1984. After storm damages it was rebuilt 2005 as Paltrockwindmühle.

      This mill farm was founded in 1828, the post mill was built in 1825. In 1928 a roller mill was installed, in 1931 a mixing machine and in 1932 a diesel engine was installed and operation with wind power was discontinued. Flour was still milled here until 1955 and the last miller Kurt Dorn grinded it until 1984. The mill was owned by the Dorn family until 1990, when it was donated to Martin Wernicke. In 2002 a storm swept across the country and tore the wings and almost the entire mill with it. In 2004/05, Wernicke - a trained carpenter - converted the no longer stable mill into a Paltrock windmill. Now she is safely back on 60 roles. Milling machines are still being reconstructed.
