In 1868 Louis Bremer from Eixe bought the newly built Erdholländer windmill from Christian Meyer. Successor Albert Bremer sold the mill to the miller Franz Schröder in 1940. His son, master miller Heinz Schröder, carried out the trade until 1972. The Erdholländer windmill was originally equipped with two stone grinding courses and one flour grinding course. An electric motor later supplemented the wind drive, which consisted of 2 sail and 2 louvre blades. The mill cap was turned into the wind by hand using a so-called gaff adjusting wheel system.
The substructure consists of red-colored bricks. The roof surfaces are covered with red tiles (Linkskremper). An onion-shaped cap covers the three-storey building. Today, the technical equipment includes a vertical shaft with a pair of bevel gears and the associated pinion with the parking brake.
Extensive repairs have been carried out on the mill in recent years. The floors and the handrails of the stairs, the tiled roof, the gaff wheel system and the loading ramp were renewed, the masonry was reworked and grouted, the foundation was renovated. The wings have now been renewed several times, most recently in 2002.
An electric motor drives the blades when there is no wind.
