Originally, the mill had a millstone for rye and a groats stamp, as documented in a local chronicle. Today, the mill with its millstone is fully functional. In 2016, a bolting box, which serves to separate flour and bran, was installed.[1] The internal house tree consists of a single 200-year-old oak. The wings of the mill are made of larch wood, with the brake of the spur wheel made of soft poplar wood. The crossbeams are also made of oak, while most other parts are made of pine. The mill housing with its timber-frame construction is classically held together by wooden pegs.[3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockwindm%C3%BChle_Pudagla

The Bockwindmühle at Pudagla was already marked on a Swedish land survey map in 1693. In October 1779, the mill with all its equipment and land was bought by master miller Jacob Schmidt for 1000 thalers from his stepfather. The purchase was confirmed in 1789 by the highest confirmation of the Pomeranian War and Domain Chamber. Until 1810, all farmers of the Pudagla domain had to grind their grain at the mill. The last grinding took place in 1937. Since then, the mill had been unused. The mill remained in the possession of the Schmidt family until 1996. Finally, the mill was handed over to the municipality of Pudagla, as the condition of the mill continued to deteriorate. In April 1997, the mill was completely dismantled and the usable parts were numbered. These were then transported and restored. Finally, the mill was rebuilt. In 2019, the mill was renovated again, during which the cross-shaft damaged by core rot was also replaced.[1][2][3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockwindm%C3%BChle_Pudagla

After German reunification After 1991, when the seaside resort was included in the urban development program, huge sums were invested in modernizing the infrastructure. Guest houses, restaurants and hotels returned to private hands and were largely renovated, so that Bansin's townscape increasingly regained its traditionally sophisticated character. In 1997, the community was awarded the title of Baltic Sea health resort. On January 1, 2005, the three Baltic Sea resorts of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin, which had previously been independent communities, were merged to form the community of Dreikaiserbäder. On January 1, 2006, this was renamed Heringsdorf.

From here you can go on interesting excursions, e.g. to Victoriahöhe on the Krebssee.
