Horner Mühle stands in Bremen’s Horn-Lehe district as a gallery Dutch-style windmill built between 1848 and 1849. Its octagonal base uses plastered masonry and supporting corner pilasters. Four louvred sails and a wind rose show how the mill responded to changing wind directions. The gallery allowed workers to adjust the sails without climbing the structure. Steam power arrived in the late nineteenth century, while a diesel engine followed in 1926 when wind proved insufficient. Wind has not powered the grinding mechanism since 1933.

Lür Kaemena operated the mill from 1907, and his son Johann continued the family connection from 1936. The mill underwent restorations from 1966 to 1968, 1995 to 1999, and 2016 to 2017. Bremen has protected Horner Mühle as a monument since 1973, while community donations supported later preservation work. The Horn-Lehe citizens’ association also contributed to its restoration. Its technology spans wind, steam, and diesel power. The building records changing milling technology in Bremen.
