quickly crossed the main road and then again via side streets and hiking trails across the main road. Beautiful view of the mill

The Ruttel Mill:

In Ruttel stands the only windmill in Germany that still saws wood.

A steady creaking sound is the sign that the Ruttel Mill is in operation. "Wind force four - that's not enough for the sawmill, but it is enough for the grinding process," says master miller Peter Egenhoff.

The blades of the almost 160-year-old gallery windmill cut evenly through the wind. Gerrit Stegemann attaches a sack of grain to an iron chain. The cable winch pulls and carries the grain directly to the second floor. The chain clatters, then a wooden hatch opens. The miller shoulders the sack and tips its contents into a funnel above the millstone.

Tock, tock, tock, tock - the gears mesh faster. The wind is blowing gustily from the northeast. Grain by grain, the grain falls into the grinding process. It smells almost like a bakery. In good wind conditions, the mill produces 150 to 200 packages of flour per hour.
