    The mill was located outside the city in their construction, because the Bismarckstraße was the northern city limit. A predecessor building dates from 1547, which was probably destroyed in 1698 during a storm. The current Gallery Dutchman with Windrose was built in 1839 as a pellet mill and mill (Wikipedia).

      History

      When it was built, the mill was outside the city, as Bismarckstrasse was the northern boundary of the city. A previous building dates from 1547, which was probably destroyed in a storm in 1698. The current gallery mill with a wind rose was built in 1839 as a pellet and grinding mill.

      In 1908, the mill was given a suction gas engine as a secondary drive to make it less dependent on the wind. The demolition of the mill was prevented in 1922 by Wilhelmshaven's predecessor city, Rüstringen, which classified the building as worth preserving and leased the building. After the Second World War, the mill was temporarily used as a warehouse. In the 1980s, it was extensively restored, including the installation of a new grinder and milling machines. In 1986, the mill was leased to the local history association "Die Boje", which opened it to the public and held milling demonstrations.
