Minden - Meissener Windmühle 05

The embankment Dutchman comes from 1869 and is equipped after the restoration with sail fence wings and a compass rose. Since the 1930s the mill with an engine was driven, therefore, the wind arrangement was completely diminished after a storm damage in 1941 and was grown only with the admission in the mill programme of the circle again. The technology does not exist up to an electrically powered stone groats way any more, the mill has a steel wing wave and a roller bearing as a collar bearing which is used otherwise seldom in the conservation of monuments and historic buildings.
