Höhn Wind Farm

Three wind turbines have been rotating in the Höhn wind farm since March 21, 2016. At the beginning of 2018, the evm expanded the wind farm with two new plants in cooperation with the local community of Höhn. The five wind turbines now generate around 35 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year. This can supply around 24,000 people.

What inevitably catches the eye of passing cyclists and bikers here are the modern heirs of the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our ancestors were clever enough to harness the power of the elements, wind (and water), for their own purposes, by driving millstones and grinding grain into flour, for example. Often planted in dozens throughout the landscape, this modern and unaesthetic variant—in the past, attention was paid to the architecture of each individual mill—serves to generate electricity. These wind farms are not without controversy, since their construction, on the one hand, shows no consideration for the landscape, and, above all, their slender blades become a death trap for birds.
