The Historic Mill of Sanssouci is a windmill located in Potsdam, Germany, featured in the legend of The Miller of Sanssouci (German: Der Müller von Sanssouci). It is particularly associated with Frederick the Great and his summer palace of Sanssouci. In 1736 the soldier king, Frederick William I of Prussia, gave permission for the construction of a windmill, which was started in 1737. This first windmill, completed in 1738, was a post mill, whose entire superstructure, supported on a wooden post, was turned "into the wind" depending on the wind direction. The first mill and actual Historic Mill was thus older than the nearby summer palace, built in the years 1745 to 1747 for Frederick the Great. More information...
