In 1813 the miller Johann Friedrich Meyer built a Dutch windmill on the western edge of Bardowick after repeated applications for a license in the 17th and 18th centuries had failed due to the resistance of Lüneburg. The old windmill is still in commercial use today and can process 300 tons annually. A green department store with a health food store is the company's second economic mainstay.

After the mill had been wingless and had a pitched roof since the 1950s, it was able to regain its old appearance in a comprehensive restoration in 1994/95 with the support of the local windmill association.

Today the new wing unit drives a shotgun, a 20 KW generator converts the wind energy into electricity, which is used to drive the electric motors of the other grinders. The blades of the mill are of particular technical interest. The so-called ten-have wings with Fokwieken and Remklappen are a Dutch variant of the well-known Ventikanten wing, which the German aviator major Bilau invented in the 1920s. The technical maturity of this wing concept gives the Bardowicker windmill a high wind yield and reliable wing control. The rotating wings of the old mill with the massive towers of Bardowick Cathedral in the background form an incomparable sight when viewed from Bundesstraße 4.

There is a shop in the mill. There are cereals, snacks, soaps and much more.
