The Günther-Mühle is a bockwindmill (a type of post mill) located in Herrnhut, Germany, and designated as a Kulturdenkmal (cultural monument). Situated in the Oberlausitz region of Saxony, this historic windmill represents a traditional form of grain-milling technology characteristic of rural Germanic architecture. The bockwindmill design, which features a rotating wooden superstructure mounted on a substantial post or "bock" to catch the wind from any direction, made such mills practical for the varied wind conditions of the landscape.
