The Dutch gallery windmill in Brockel is one of the younger mills in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district. Before the construction of the Brockeler Mühle began in 1860, various official hurdles had to be overcome. Because the operators of the mills located in the vicinity initially defended themselves against the new "competition".

In 1895, a steam engine was also installed in the Brockeler windmill. From now on it was also possible to grind in periods of weak wind.

The reconstruction of the Brockeler windmill began in the 1970s. The Brockel Mill Association, which also managed to bring the former steam engine back into the mill, has been taking care of its maintenance since 1993. Today you can visit the 23 meter high structure with a total of seven floors. Visits to the mill can be organized for interested groups by telephone.
