Woldegk Windmills on Mühlenberg

Here the blades still turn in the wind on three of a total of five surviving windmills when it is blowing properly. The windmills characterize the city, at each town entrance you are greeted by a mill. There are three mills on the Mühlenberg, one is used as a café with guesthouse and the other two mills as a museum. Every year at Pentecost, the windmill day, there is a big celebration with a colorful programme.

On the Mühlenberg are three of the five Woldegker windmills. In the mill museum is an exhibition about the development of grain processing and the history of windmills. The Ehlertsche mill is still preserved in its original state and you can watch the Schaumahlen. The third and oldest mill on the mill hill has indeed no wings, but a cafe.

On one of the highest mountains in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Woldegker Mühlenberg, there are still three windmills standing close together.
From the cobblestones of Mühlendamm, it is the "Mühlenmuseum" mill that draws everyone's attention. It is a windmill over 100 years old with white canvas on the mill blades. It is the last Dutch windmill in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where the sailcloth-covered mill blades still turn in the wind.

Inside the windmill, 5000 years of grain processing are shown and invite children in particular to try them out. Windmill models on a scale of 1:50 provide information about 900 years of windmill development.

The Beschüttboden offers a unique view, because only from here is it still possible to see one of the four other windmills in Woldegk from each window. If there is not a south-west or north-west wind, you can see the city, the lake and the Helpter Berg, at 179.1 m the highest elevation in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, from the Windrosenbock.
