    The history of the 125 year old Dutch gallery mill in Schiffdorf in Lower Saxony. The text starts with its predecessors, the first mention of which goes back to 1606, with information about the millers and the original postmill.
    It then describes the building of the Dutch mill, the millers and the various improvements they made, its decline after the Second World War and moves to preserve it as a historic monument.Further chapters cover the Schiffdorf Mill Association, memories of the mill, and more detailed information about its construction and components.The book is illustrated with black-and-white photos, diagrams and historical reproductions.
