    Historic mill of Sanssouci
    The historic mill of Sanssouci is a reconstruction of a Dutch windmill of the gallery Dutch type built between 1787 and 1791 under Friedrich Wilhelm II. It stands a few meters west of Potsdam's Sanssouci Palace and is known for its predecessor, which is associated with the legend of The Miller of Sanssouci; this is what the suffix “historical” refers to. Because of this story, she is primarily associated with the Prussian King Frederick II.
    At the end of the Second World War, the wooden mill structure burned down during hostilities. After repair work on the stone base in the 1980s, it was rebuilt between 1991 and 1993. The mill building, which is managed by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg (SPSG) and is a listed building, has been run as a museum by the Mühlenvereinigung Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. since 1995.

      The historical mill at Sanssouci Palace is the only surviving reconstruction of originally more than 40 windmills, which were used to supply grain to the population and the garrisons. It was built between 1787 and 1791 as a successor to the first post mill from 1738. In 1858 operations were discontinued because the mill was no longer profitable.
