Also a nice place for a break...the bench/lounger invites you to linger.

It was a new discovery for me today. The roof appears to have been recently maintained, meaning moss and lichen were removed. Now the sheepfold looks like new again. And there are also good places to sit and take a break.

A small patch of the "old" Emsland has been preserved here. Unfortunately, it is no longer accessible due to a wolf fence.

The construction of the Dutch Passageway goes back to an interest group of a total of 38 members of agricultural companies, who had the building constructed between 1860 and 1862 and each "bought in" it with different shares.

The Dutch drive-through mill, where a horse-drawn carriage can drive directly under the grain floor for loading and unloading, was restored so that it milled again as it did on the first day in 1860. After that, the local friends in Wippingen gradually renovated the entire town center, repaired the rectory garden, put the old bakery into operation, built a barbecue area and a village fountain, and finally set up a small museum about the local history.

In the years 1860 to 1862, the construction of the mill was commissioned by an interest group consisting mainly of farmers, but also beekeepers, widows and innkeepers. These came from the districts of Steinbilder-Wippingen and Sögeler-Wippingen. Each interested party in the mill acquired a share of the construction costs, which were divided into 200 parts. After the mill was initially leased, it was sold to the tenant Heinrich Schulte in 1913 for 18,000 marks. In 1924, the wings and the wing axis were destroyed by a lightning strike. The last re-roofing of the cap in 1932 was followed by the mill being taken out of service in 1937 due to a lack of profitability.
