It is precisely the extremely good "transport links" that may have made the Geismühle, first mentioned in a document in 1575, one of the most famous windmills in Germany. Especially since the nearby service station in Krefeld-Oppum bears her name and unexpectedly led some motorists who just wanted to stretch their legs to the medieval walls.

Of course, the mill can not only be reached from the motorway service area. It goes also a piece by Bösinghoven from behind to the area. The Oppumer Mühlenbauverein opens the mill on Sundays. Then the wings are covered and the mill put into operation.
