The Egelsbergmühle (also Egelsberg-Mühle or Egelsberger Mühle) is the name of the tower windmill of Dutch design on the Egelsberg (46 m above sea level. NN) in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Krefeld. Next to the Elfrather Mühle, it is the second in the Traar district.

The brick tower windmill has a wooden shingle hood and four blades with a diameter of 19.5 m. The maximum output of the windmill will have been around 20 kW.

Today the mill is open to the public on selected days for author readings, art exhibitions and weddings. It can also be seen on the coat of arms of the district of Traar.

At the end of the 18th century, construction of the Egelsberg mill began, and it was completed and commissioned in 1802. In 1930, the mill was converted from wind to motor operation and was used as a grain mill until 1942. Artillery hits severely damaged her in March 1945. The wings and clapboard hood were restored after the war, and the bullet holes were bricked up. In 1954 it was taken over by the city of Krefeld from family ownership, after which the mill was repaired and the mill head rebuilt. Since 1980, the tower hollander has been illuminated in the evening. In 1984 it was included in the monument list of the city of Krefeld and was renovated and rebuilt again from 1997 to 2002. The historical grinder inside is still preserved.

Niepkuhlen Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Niepkuhlen nature reserve along the Niepkuhlen, which to me looks like a series of human excavations connected by rivers, but are actually sections of the Old Rhine, offers plenty of natural recreation on hiking and cycling trails
