    Mill Berdum

    Erdholländer on the ground

    Earth Dutchmen are not Dutch who live in caves. Because they have wings, wind wings! The East Frisian Berdum in Harlingerland has been a mill site since 1600. In that year a mill collapsed here, in 1623 another fell - it was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. In 1782 the construction of a "squat mill" is documented for the first time, which was replaced in 1820 by the new construction of the thatched dutch with a codend, a stabilizing wing tail on the back, which still exists today. In this type of windmill, the blades reach to the ground. They're easier to maintain because they're ground-climbable, with the downside that when the wings are spinning and people are within reach, accidents can be more common.

      The mill was closed, but still beautiful to look at. The tourist attraction has been restored in recent years.
