Last mill day in Staudtenmühle: Historical conclusion for visitors!

on Whit Monday, June 7, 2025, there is a special event in the house that not only makes the hearts of the mill lovers beat faster.

One of the last ways to experience the fascinating world of mills offers the Staudtenmühle in the Vogtland, which opens its gates for the last time that day. A look at the tradition and the craft of the miller becomes particularly valuable.

German mill day is more than just a festival - it is a sign of preserving an important cultural asset. Since its foundation in 1994 by the German Society for Mill Store and Mühlenstorstor (DGM) e.V., this day of action has set itself the goal of keeping the miller's cultural technology alive and bringing closer to the general public. On this special day, visitors can experience up close how wind, water, steam and engine chairs are put into operation and get an idea of ​​the many facets of mill technology.

insights and experiences

In particular, the operators of the mills take the time on this day to offer guests an insight into the old miller trade. Guided tours and small festivals invite you to enjoy the flair of the historic mills. And if you are not only interested in technology, you can look forward to culinary delights that are available for the physical well -being of the visitors. Music and conversations ensure that the German mill day becomes a holistic experience for the whole family.

The idea and the origin of the German mill day lie in the early 1990s. Inspired by Dutch mill friends who have been celebrating such a day since 1973, the desire for a nationwide day of action was born. Since then, the mill day has developed into an annual highlight in which up to 1,000 mills open their gates nationwide. In Saxony-Anhalt, for example, around 80 mills are participating that bring visitors closer to the oldest machine machine.

be it for families with children or for those interested in history, German mill day is an experience that nobody should miss. And who knows, maybe such an opportunity will not come back so quickly.
