Worpswede Windmill

Highlight • Monument

After the report of the office Osterholz from the year 1836 the windmill Worpswede was built in 1701 by Claus Segelken. For the operation of the mill he had to pay a Canon of 12 Reichstalern. As early as 1723, however, he sold the mill to 4 landlords because of economic difficulties, and in 1737 they commissioned the ministry to Meierrecht. From now on, it was meierrechtlich the Crown Prince Worpswede, the Countess Elenora of Eschwege attached. In 1838, the structure, probably a post-windmill, is so outdated that it is now bigger and more economical than Erdholländer. This mill was repeatedly overhauled several times, such as 1936, 1959 and most recently 1995. Until 1956, the mill had a codend that was removed to work now with a wind rose modern. The many general overhauls - often carried by donations - are striking in the history of the mill. The economic situation with a relatively small area of arable land in the surrounding area must not have yielded golden fruits for every miller.

Today, with a white painted hull and white / red wing, it is a landmark of the artist's village of Worpswede.

The nature reserve "Wide Water" has the shape of a triangle and is also known as the "wet triangle" because of the many streams and lakes. The area is home to many birds that you can watch with a little patience. In the nature reserve there is also the lake of the same name, Broad Water.

February 9, 2025,Hammeniederung – Aussichtsturm "Himmelstreppe" - Runde von Worpswede

Today I swapped the Wümme lowlands for the Hamme lowlands - a really great excursion destination with an incredible expanse! Our Wümme lowlands seem almost small and tranquil in comparison 😉.
The hike was beautiful, but the asphalt and cobblestone portion was a bit too much for me, but in moorland areas and river lowlands the path options are of …

Long morning tour. Unfortunately the weather today wasn't so perfect for nice photos. Still, it was fun and is another option for a long hike in the Teufelsmoor

October 29, 2023,Wanderung im Gebiet Breites Wasser

The Breites Wasser area lies between Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Worpswede. The landscape is determined by pasture meadows, water areas and watercourses. The paths are easy to walk on. However, some paths are closed due to bird protection measures. The months April to June are probably interesting for bird watching. All in all a nice hike.

After we had to do without the Hamme on Saturday, it should work today.
We started this beautiful tour from New Heligoland. With the beautiful weather, of course, we weren't the only ones who had this idea. In the beginning there were a lot of walkers, in the later part there were cyclists. But didn't do anything. We enjoyed the …

Hello,
After the past rainy days, I was in the starting blocks for today with a great goal. In bright sunshine and 3 degrees, slightly frozen ground and water with a light layer of ice awaited me. Worpswede was on the note, but not so much as an artists' village, but rather to explore the landscape of the "Teufelmoors". My …
