Petershagen - Pottmühle 04

The pot mill is the latest gallery Dutchman's windmill in the Minden-Lübbecke county.

 

The 18-m-high, slightly conical break stone tower was established in 1938.

 

Already in 1745 a "king's mill" was built in this location.

 

The name Pot mill should have originated because the tower with the put on cap looks like a coffeepot.

 

The mill was equipped technically well: Two groats ways, a set of millstones, a roller chair with 2 current plan harvester and a cleaning for grain could be driven with wind as well as with engine.

 

The mill was stripped and and now used as a storehouse.
