On April 1, 1904, miller Heinrich Rath leased the windmill from the Duke of Arenberg.
Around 1920, a suction gas engine was installed.
In 1935, the suction gas engine was replaced by a diesel engine.
During a stormy night, the wind rose, which was used to control the sails, collapsed.
Now the sails could no longer be aligned with the wind.
In 1936, Bernhard Rath and his wife Maria Rath took over the mill.
In 1941/42, the sails were dismantled.
In the mid-1940s, the diesel engine was removed.
