As in probably every other profession, there are also a few so-called “black sheep” among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. In this context, the popular children's book author Otfried Preußler recounts the following short episode in "The Flight to Egypt": "And they didn't even get all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but there was a mill on their way, the Klostermühle, where they lodged until the next morning. At first, the Klostermühlen miller was almost shocked when the Imperial and Royal Gendarmerie suddenly knocked on his door: There had been some disputes with a customer last week over a few sacks of milling material that had inexplicably disappeared from the mill here [...] but it could have been that he was reported for it anyway - and now they're coming for him... so, of course, all the disputed sacks of milling material immediately fell from the Klostermühlen miller's mind, just as [Sergeant] Hawlitschek was now simply requesting a place to stay for the night."

Nowadays, only a few of them are still in operation in their original function, but are often merely technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind as driving energy and, for example, grain was ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil was pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind a whole series of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed from it.
