The Düben windmill was originally built in 1840 in Glesien, north of Leipzig. It milled flour until 1960 and ground grain until 1962. Due to the expansion and development of Leipzig/Halle Airport, the listed post mill had to be moved from its original location. The Museum Village Dübener Heide Association took over the windmill in 2000. In 2006, the reconstructed windmill, complete with working machinery, was rebuilt north of the Düben Upper Mill.
