Places of interest
"Retractable" mill in Kröpelin
📍 Kröpelin
The Kröpeliner Mühle is a gallery Dutch windmill. It has been a cultural center since its renovation in 2012 and is used by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association for events. It can also be visited. Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn will not believe their eyes... The mill, visible from afar from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears, but later reappears. The miracle of Kröpelin is easy to explain: One succumbs to an optical illusion, because depending on the viewer's position, the mill, which has long since become the town's landmark, appears or disappears. The gallery Dutch windmill with a two-storey solid brick substructure was built in 1904 and went into operation in 1906. It operated as a grain mill until around 1952. In this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - the blades are attached to the cap. The mill body is fixed and only the cap is turned into the wind. Original parts of the wind turbine, such as the comb wheel and the king shaft, are still in the cap, but the equipment has been removed over the years. In 1986, work began on converting the building into a restaurant. However, it was not completed. It was not until 24 years later that a decision was made to carry out a complex modernization and to partially demolish the farm wing. The mill is owned by the town and was reopened at the end of 2013 after extensive renovations. It is operated by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association and is open to the public.
Kröpelin "retractable" mill
📍 Kröpelin
The landmark of the town of Kröpelin - the "retractable" mill Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn or Rerik will not believe their eyes. The mill, visible from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears and reappears a short time later. Construction work on the Galerie-Holländer-Mühle began in 1904 and it was put into operation in 1906. It has a 2-storey solid brick substructure. The first floor is square and made of stone, while the central mill body with eight sides is also built of solid stone and covered with shingles. The wings of this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - are attached to the cap so that it can be turned into the wind. The wind turbine of the mill and parts of the equipment are still preserved. The mill was even still in operation until 1952. After it was decommissioned, it was then used as a warehouse for agricultural businesses and for the school as a "polytechnic" center. In 1986, work began on converting the mill into a restaurant. However, this conversion work came to a standstill due to the changes brought about by the fall of communism. In 2006, the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association was founded with the aim of renovating the mill in order to preserve it as a Kröpelin landmark and to organize and hold cultural events around the mill. The mill is owned by the town. Extensive renovation work began in 2012. The renovation work was completed in 2013 and the mill was reopened on December 20.
