The wind pumping station was used to drain the Thurbruch River from 1926 to 1968. Afterward, the drainage was replaced by electric pumps, and the structure was listed as a historical monument. In 1990, the pumping station was restored and remains fully functional today. A beautiful, quiet spot with a covered seating area where you can enjoy nature.

The Kachlin wind pumping station is located in the Thurbruch near the Kachliner See on the island of Usedom. The wind pumping station was one of three wind-powered pumping stations (so-called wind pumps) used at the beginning of the 20th century to drain the Thurbruch. The hub height is 12 meters. The diameter of the wind turbine is 8.5 meters. It consists of 27 wind deflectors. The water was raised by 1.5 meters using a screw conveyor. Depending on the wind speed, the pumping capacity was between 480 and 1440 cubic meters of water per hour. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsch%C3%B6pfwerk_Kachlin
