Nutzung der Windenergie hat im küstennahen Flachland Tradition, allein in den Wallanlagen befanden sich im 18. Jh. 15 Windmühlen. Die erste Mühle an diesem Standort geht auf das Jahr 1699 zurück. Sie wurde von zahlreichen Bränden heimgesucht und immer wieder aufgebaut. Bei der heutigen Mühle von 1898 handelt es sich um einen so genannten Galerieholländer mit Jalousieflügel und Windrosensteuerung auf einem feststehenden mehreckigen Rumpf.

There is a long tradition of wind energy in the flat lands close to the sea, with 15 windmills alone in the Wallanlagen in the 18th century. The first mill on this site dates back to the year 1699. They were destroyed on many occasions by fire and frequently reconstructed. The mill still standing today dates back to 1898 and is an example of a 'Galerieholländer' with shuttered sails and wind vane steerage on a fixed multi-cornered rump.
