Mühle am Wall

The Mühle am Wall, also known as the Herdentorswallmühle, is a historic galleried Dutch-style windmill in Bremen's Wallanlagen park. The structure, with its octagonal brick base and four large louvered sails, was built in 1833 and came through World War II largely undamaged. It has been a protected landmark since 1953. After a thorough renovation in 1998, which also included new sails, the mill now houses a café and restaurant on its lower floors, which is why locals often call it the Kaffeemühle (coffee grinder). You can easily reach the attraction on foot from the main train station and enjoy the surprising sight of an intact windmill in the middle of the city's greenery. The site is Stop 41 on the Lower Saxony Mill Route. On special occasions such as Mill Day, there are milling demonstrations, and by arrangement you can tour the interior, where you can marvel at the historic machinery, including the millstones and the elevator.
