    Scope & contentSummary Translation

    Booklet about the activities of mill enthusiasts in the GDR, listing mill by mill restoration work being carried out on mills of different kinds and work that needs to be done.

    The title refers to a figure from Sorbian folklore, Pumphut, a magician who knows all about mills.

    Most of the illustrations are general sketches, but there is a sketch of the workings of the Klein Ziethen paltrok mill and another of the planned poll end for the Busby paltrok mill.
