Dutch Windmill in Neubukow
The gallery-style Dutch windmill in Neubukow has a long history.
The gallery-style Dutch windmill, with its octagonal base, was built in 1910 with an automatic wind vane and traditional wooden sails. The mill body and the cap were set on a typical eight-sided brick base. In 1937, the sails were converted to so-called “Bilau-style wind vanes,” steel mill sails developed by the flight officer Bilau. The mill is the only one of its kind in the new federal states to have such preserved sails, which also boast the greatest span of 27 meters for this type. Both the windmill mechanism and the grinding mechanism are still operational. The mill sails were restored in 1981. The mill is privately owned.

Its characteristic eight-sided brick base supports both the mill body and the typical cap of this mill type.
Unique Bilau-style windmill blades in the new federal states
In 1937, the original wooden sails were replaced with so-called “Bilau-style sails”—steel mill sails developed by the flight officer Bilau. The Neubukow Mill is the only one of its kind in the new federal states that still has these preserved sails. Particularly noteworthy is the 27-meter span, which is the largest known for this type of mill. Following a restoration of the sails in 1981, both the windmill and the grinding mechanism remain operational to this day.
