    Post mill "Wolkwitz"

    Post mill "Wolkwitz" - Niederglaucha

    In 1748/49, the Niederglaucha manor owner Koch had this mill built. After leasing it for a few years, Christian Friedrich Wolkwitz acquired the mill.

    In 1927, it was given an electric drive under Oswald Wolkwitz. From the time it was built until 1961 - more than 200 years - the mill was fully functional.

    The blades damaged by storms were replaced and used again in 1983 under miller Alfred Wolkwitz after a 22-year wind break. Flour was milled until 1950, and to this day the mill is used to grind feed for neighbors.

    The post mill is now in the sixth generation of the family.

      Was there such resistance to windmills 200/300 years ago as there is today?
