When the mill in OstGroßefehn was built in 1805, buckwheat was mainly used for painting. Painting took place there until 1968. The mill is very picturesquely located directly on the Großefehn canal and together with the Mühlenhof forms a beautiful ensemble.

The two-story Dutch gallery on the Großefehn Canal was built in 1804. The three grinding courses were mainly used to process buckwheat, as it was a main fruit of the fen colonies. Around 1900 a test facility for power generation was installed. The mill was in operation until 1968 and is still fully functional today.
