Even without the cap and wings, the old windmill is still an impressive building. You can find it near the main road on the northern edge of the village.

Windmill Riede

A windmill in Riede was first mentioned in a document in 1579. It was a post mill with only one grinding cycle. According to an old directory from the Syke office, 1,240 hundredweight of rye were ground in one year. The miller was entitled to the twentieth part as a mill butcher (milling fee). In 1780, the local administration leased it to the miller Claus Hinrich W�hlke for hereditary interest. He once paid 500 thalers and the annual inheritance interest of 112 thalers for the mill with accessories, the miller's apartment, the garden and the meadow. In addition to the right of use, he had the right to pass on the mill. W�hlke's successor was Müller Heineke. He was already grinding 9,600 hundredweight of rye per year. In 1868, Müller Michael Ahrens from S�stedt became the owner and in 1872 he replaced the post mill with a three-story, solid brick gallery Dutchman with a codend. In strong winds she managed 30 hundredweight of grain per hour in second gear and 20 hundredweight in first gear. However, it was still impossible to compete with the modern, electrically operated large mills. Müller Wilhelm Meyerholz, whose father had married an Ahrens daughter, stopped operating the windmill in 1964 and continued to grind with an electric drive for a few years. In 1969 the mill head was sold to Haben near Bremerhaven. In 2001, Antje Martsch from Riede-Heiligenbruch bought the mill tower and runs a physiotherapy practice in the old miller's house.
