Farmer Biermann had already worked as a miller in 1812 when he operated a horse windmill, which was replaced in 1850 by a post mill, which was more modern at the time. Demolished again in 1860, farmer Staby built the third mill at the site exposed to the prevailing wind conditions, in the form of a cap or tower windmill, which can still be seen today in almost unchanged form.

The VHS is now in the old mill. The condition of the outside is very beautiful and impressive.

Nice to look at and a landmark of Bönen: the well-maintained and well-preserved tower windmill, even with wings.

Interesting information about the mill can be found here:
