The construction of this Dutch windmill in 1837 goes back to a water mill on the Schunter, which was to be converted by the Braunschweiger Verleger brothers Vieweg to the paper mill. As a replacement for the conversion of the watermill Viewegs received the order to build a windmill with the same grinding performance on the Wendhäuser corridor. - The windmill was built in 1837 with the help of English technicians and manufactured in England components as the first in this country with iron wheels and as a special feature with 5 Venetian blind wings. 3 grinding cycles, modern sieve and grain cleaning machines drove the mill. Shortly before 1900, the mill - owned by the Deike family - was severely damaged by a storm, then lay quiet for several years and was in 1927 provided with new interior and electric auxiliary drive. When Wendhausen was declared a model village in 1936, the five wings were renewed. In 1953, Müller Deike finally shut down operations.
It was followed by several restorations and in 1980, the mill became the property of the community teaching. Since 1983, the "Association for the preservation and promotion of the Dutch windmill Wendhausen e.V." operates the mill as a technical monument. The technical equipment with stone grinding, roller mill, sieve and grain cleaning machines is completely preserved. Furthermore, the mill serves as a "wedding mill" for several years. 2003, 2009 and 2011 were major restoration work on the cap and wings.
