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.
