Seefeld Mill

The Seefelder Mühle is a gallery Dutch windmill and the landmark of Seefeld, a district of the municipality of Stadland in the Lower Saxony district of Wesermarsch. It is a technical monument.
The Seefeld mill was bought and operated by the master miller Johann Heinrich Höpken. Höpken had already acquired the Erdholländermühle in Schweierfeld in 1868. When a new competing mill was built in Schwei in 1873, the miller was looking for a better location for his work. Seefeld was attractive and had also been enlarged by about 490 hectares by the dike of the Augustgroden. Höpken initially planned to move his mill from Schweierfeld to Seefeld, but the opportunity arose to acquire an almost new mill from Oldenburg. The Oldenburg miller Hemmen had a new windmill built there in 1864 and now wanted to sell his old one. In 1874, the windmill at the dam in Oldenburg was dismantled. Construction work in Seefeld began on 1 March 1875. According to the purchase contract, the mill had to be built by 1 May 1876, but the work was probably completed by 1875.
