On German Mill Day, May 25, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., visitors can tour a post mill and a gallery-style Dutch windmill. They’ll discover how wind is harnessed as a universal source of power.
Using a hand mill, they can grind grain into flour themselves. A miller and a miller’s wife will share stories from everyday mill life and bring the structures to life. A special highlight is the new sails of the Dutch-style windmill, which were successfully reinstalled this spring following challenging restoration work. They make it possible for the Dutch-style mill to be powered by the wind once again.
Wind energy is once again of great importance today: renewable energies account for a significant portion of our electricity—and the trend is rising. Experts from the University of Applied Sciences will present a modern small-scale wind turbine in the museum park and, together with visitors, look toward the future of our energy supply.
The Omas for Future challenge children and parents to prove themselves: Team spirit is needed to succeed in the energy quiz.
An industrial archaeologist takes families on a discovery tour in search of traces of energy use on the former railway grounds of the Anhalter freight station.
The topic of renewable energy will be featured in future exhibits in the Museum Park.
