Doppelganger mock mills 🌍

As well as documenting real windmills, this site also covers mock mills, for a number of reasons

• by listing them for what they are, then I can clearly document that they are not real mills
• their existence is often an indication of how important real mills are to the history of an area
• simply because they amuse me

I was therefore doubly amused when I recently came across the fact that the Old Women's Mill (Altweibermühle) at the Tripsdrill adventure park in Germany (a mock windmill housing a slide, and quite a historic building, having been constructed in 1929), was itself subject of a replica mock mill (at reduced scale) at the Freizeitpark Lochmühle elsewhere in the same country. Details of both of these are now on my Windmills of Germany page.

To stretch the amusement even further, there is also a scale model kit available of the Tripsdrill ride.
