Bockwindmühle
Bockwindmühle stands on the Mühlenberg near Satzkorn, in Potsdam-Fahrland, as a historic wooden windmill. Oak and pine frame the structure, whose wings once swept a circle 19.5 metres across.
Miller Christian Friedrich Specht built it in 1758 near Fahrland’s village centre. In 1798, the mill moved to its present hillside location. Architect Aulich receives credit for the design, while builder Andreas Puhlmann supervised its construction. Grain grinding supplied bread for the Potsdam garrison, and Karl Gutschmidt worked here as the final miller until 1968.
The mill remained the only survivor of Fahrland’s three historic windmills. A major restoration followed in 1973, after which events and film productions used the building. Its wings are now removed, while guided tours present the machinery and architectural details. Since 2021, the silhouette has appeared on Fahrland’s district coat of arms.
