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. 20 Pfennig value: tower Dutch mill in Pahrenz (Dresden district) The mill is a massive bricked up, significantly tapering upward Rotunda. The tower carries the hood made of sheet steel with the wings and the wind rose. The function of the wind rose is to turn the hood and thus the wings in the wind. The tower has five floors, which house the technical equipment for grinding, sieving and repeated transport of the material to be ground. Their location makes them visible from afar.
