The post mill originally came from Glesien, but had to make way for the airport. It was built in 1840 and was used to grind flour until 1960.

The Düben windmill was originally built in 1840 in Glesien, north of Leipzig. The master miller at the time was Johann Christian Böhme. Flour was milled there until 1960 and crushed until 1962. The last miller was Erich Voß. At the end of the 20th century, the condition of the windmill was rather pitiful. Wind and weather took a heavy toll on the mill box and the rods (wings of the windmill). Nevertheless, the mill technology remained in exceptionally good condition. Due to the expansion and development of Leipzig-Halle Airport, a new location had to be found for the listed post mill. A new perspective arose with the support of the Delitzsch district office, so that in 2000 the airport handed the windmill over to the still young association Museumsdorf Dübener Heide e.V. Even if the simple construction was ideal for implementation, a long time passed before the windmill in Bad Düben could be rebuilt in the future museum village.

On behalf of the Museumsdorf Dübener Heide e.V. association, the mill builder John de Jongh from Veldhoven / Netherlands restored the windmill between September 2005 and June 2006.

Around 80 percent of the old mill and the beam construction were reused and the more than 150-year-old mill technology was reinstalled with almost no changes. The cladding of the mill box and the wings was a completely different matter. They were the most damaged by wind and weather. These, as well as the external staircase, were completely replaced.
