Horst Wrobel made a reproduction of the plant at a size of 1:25 and after that gathered a wide range of material about windmills and watermills. In 1974 he set up a private gallery in Suhlendorf with the primary models of plants that he had constructed. So as to make a bigger scale model, he originally made suggestions in 1977 to the district of Gifhorn, who at that point effectively bolstered the task.
