Unfortunately without wings, otherwise it would definitely be a very nice photo opportunity right on the Elbe

The mill is a three-story gallery holland from the year 1876. Currently it has no wings, but which should be grown again.

At Altengammer Elbdeich 130 is the gallery-style Dutch windmill,
built in 1876 by Peter Timmann.
The Altengammer Mill is a grain windmill with four grinding gears.
In 1909, Hans Hermann Timmann became its owner. The mill was run
by his daughter Olga and her later husband, Hans-Hermann Voß. He equipped the mill with a motor and shut down two grinding gears.
The remaining grinding gears remained in operation until 1957.
In 1927, a storm ruined the mill's sails; they were eventually dismantled
and operation converted to electricity. Since then, the mill has no sails.
Various additions in 1884, 1938, and 1939 gave the mill its current appearance. The enormous, 3,000-kilogram cross shaft was melted down during World War II, the entrances at gallery level were bricked up, and the windmill tower was used as a silo. The small five-ton fine mill in the three-story extension built in 1939 ran 24 hours a day after the war, as most of the surrounding mills were damaged and unable to operate.

In 1937, a passageway with a silo was built. By the end of the 1950s, the mill had become less and less busy, as the large mills were back in operation, replacing the small business. Between 1957 and 1969, only one grinding mill was operating. A modern impact (hammer) mill was installed to produce wheat and rye flour, wheat and rye baking meal, and animal feed.

From 1995 until the death of Hans-Ernst Voß, the mill was operated by the Voß couple.

The Borghorst Mill is also called the Altengammer Mill.
