The Reitbrooker Mill is a windmill built in 1870. It is located in Hamburg's Reitbrook district of Hamburg on the banks of the Dove Elbe.

The mill is located directly on the Reitbrooker mill bridge, which connects the place with the north of the Dove Elbe Allermöhe. Before the bridge was built, a ferry had existed here for centuries. As early as 1773, the owner of the Fährhof, located directly next to today's windmill, received permission to erect a windmill at this point. The original construction burned down in 1870 and was then replaced by the current windmill. It is a so-called "gallery hollander" with a two-storey square brick substructure and an octagonal wooden structure. The hood, so the top of the mill on which the wings are fixed, is rotatable according to the wind direction. The mill wings have a length of 12.50 m. In the 20th century, the mill received electrical fittings; the last grinding with wind drive took place 1938/39. In 1942, the building was listed as a historical monument.

The Reitbrooker mill is one of nine windmills preserved in the region of Hamburg. The mill was bought in 1881 by Herrmann Gustav Timmann and is now in the 4th generation in the family estate.

Class to look at, e.g. paddle past this well-preserved gallery Dutchman on a SUP tour on the Doven Elbe! 🤩

Photogenic beautiful old mill. Would have liked to have taken a closer look at it, but unfortunately it was not possible.
