Düppler Mühle, Magdeburg

The Düppler Mill is a former Dutch windmill in Magdeburg's Neu Olvenstedt district.

The windmill was built on a small hill southeast of Olvenstedt in 1845 by the master miller Heinrich Lange, who also had another mill in Olvenstedt. The mill, later called Düppler Mühle, had three gears for flour, pearl barley and oil. The name Düppler Mill was intended to commemorate the storming of the Düppeler entrenchments north of Flensburg by Prussia in the German-Danish War on April 18, 1864, in which Magdeburg pioneers also participated.

The mill remained in operation until 1899. In 1901, the windmill blades were removed. This was followed by the use of the mill building, constructed of quarry stone masonry, as a restaurant with an adjacent pavilion. Around 1920, apartments were established in the mill. In the 1970s, the building burned down. Still in the time of the GDR a new extension of the listed building was planned, but not realized. Due to the construction of the new Neu Olvenstedt district, the mill was cut off from the old village of Olvenstedt and assigned to the new district.

Currently, the building continues to stand empty. In 2011, the Verein zum Erhalt der Düppler Mühle Magdeburg e. V. was founded, a support association dedicated to the preservation of the architectural monument.

The existence of the mill is also referred to by the naming of the adjacent street as Düppler Mühlenstraße.
