The post mill is the oldest type of windmill in Europe. The main feature of this type of mill is that the entire mill house stands on a single thick pole, which is fixed vertically in a wooden support frame located below the actual mill.

Somewhat removed from the village center, the so-called Gruppachmühle (Gruppach Mill) is located outside Mocherwitz, directly on the main road next to a small farmstead with a residential building. Unfortunately, there is little, or rather almost no, information about the building online. What can be said, however, is that this technical monument, built in 1823, is of local and technological significance. Still in a ruinous state around 1976, as images from the German Digital Library demonstrate, the building was apparently restored to its current state of preservation after reunification.
