The memorial stone at the Jewish cemetery in Stommeln (Pulheim municipality/ Rhein-Erft district) was actually the focus of the photo; here, however, the focus is on the windmill, which is said to have been in operation until 1975.

Like the largely preserved town wall of the old town centre of Kaster (Bedburg/Rhein-Erft district), the Owl Tower, the core of which dates back to 1370 (with later additions such as the baroque dome), is made of bricks. In general, most of the older houses in this lowland region are built with bricks.

Gear wheels on different levels of the windmill in Bedburg-Grottenherten (Rhine-Erft district) transfer the movement of the wind wheels to the grinding mechanism.

The Grottenherten tower windmill (in Bedburg/ Rhine-Erft district) stands on an artificial hill. From the ‘platform’ on which the mill stands, the cap with the sails is moved by the beams in order to set the optimum wind direction. At 27 metres long, the wings are among the largest ever.
There were around 180 days a year when the wind and weather allowed the mill to grind, sometimes even at night.
More photos, also from inside the mill, will follow.

German Mill Day took place on Whit Monday, in which various types of mills took part with a programme, including the tower windmill (Dutch or cap windmill) built in 1831 in the village of Grottenherten, which belongs to Bedburg (Rhine-Erft district). The windmill, which is run by an association, is still fully functional; it was in operation until 1964.
Two drawings show a cross-section of the mill's structure.
Further photos, also of the inside of the mill, will follow.
