Facts and practical information

The Geismühle is a tower windmill located between Krefeld and Meerbusch. The flour mill is about 700 years old and thus one of the oldest preserved windmills in the Lower Rhine region.

The name Geismühle is probably derived from the location of the mill, a Geest, i.e. a dry, barren sandy ridge.

Although the mill is located directly on the outskirts of the Meerbusch district of Bösinghoven, it formally belongs to Krefeld and is considered one of the city's landmarks. The mill is located directly on the A57 on the west side of the freeway service area named after the mill.

Since a thorough renovation in 2006/07, the grinding mill is fully operational again. The mill is maintained by the Bauverein Geismühle Krefeld-Oppum e.V. belongs to the Museum Center Linn and can be visited from May to October on every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 2 to 5 p.m. from the inside.
