🏞️ The village pond in Laer is now better known as the town hall pond and, together with the town hall and the old cap mill (about which you asked in the last inquiry), forms the picturesque center of the town.

🏡 Laer Town Hall The town hall itself is a historic building, created between 1979 and 1982 through the conversion of the old Welling village headman's estate (which also included the Kappenmühle mill). It was officially opened in October 1982 and is now a listed building.

🏛️ The Old Cap Mill in Laer (also known as the "Welling Windmill" or "Windmill by the Town Hall Pond") is a prominent landmark of the municipality in the Steinfurt district. It is a Dutch-style cap mill, built in 1876 on the foundations of an older post mill (dating from 1812). It has been a defining feature of Laer's townscape ever since.

This is what Wikipedia says: "The cap windmill in the town center of Laer, Steinfurt district (North Rhine-Westphalia), replaced a dilapidated post mill in 1873 on the Schulzenhof Welling, first documented in 1248, which at that time still belonged to the Lords of Ahaus. The mill had two grinding gears and was in operation until 1925. The farm also had a water mill from ancient times, the last remnants of which were demolished in 1980."
