Technical Monuments of the GDR - Windmills With the depiction of windmills as technical monuments in the GDR, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic publishes four multicolored special postage stamps. Special cancellations from November 10, 1981 to January 9, 1982 Windmills Windmills are particularly suitable for documenting the diligence and achievements of their inventors and builders over a large historical period of time. The attraction of a mill in the present time but also lies in their landscape character. Their value as a technical monument they receive primarily by the use of wind power as a drive, in a technology that has matured over centuries. The windmills obtained in the GDR can essentially be assigned to four different types of construction. The most common is the post windmill in appearance. The Dutch mills differ according to their construction in stand, tower and gallery Dutch mills. Paltrockmühlen and wind turbines close the circle. 10 Pfennig value: Gallery Dutch mill in Dabel (district Schwerin) This mill is the last of the windmills of this type that once existed in Schwerin. It was built in 1892 and is still in operation today. As a producing technical monument, its almost unchanged mechanical equipment impressively conveys a good idea of ​​a technology that has remained unchanged over centuries. Typical of this mill is the raised octagonal brick building, whose tower is covered with shingles. Only the hood with the wings, which reach down to the gallery, can be turned.
