Narren-Mill
'The Narren-mill is a post mill with sails, trailing edge and – a rarity with brick walled post (Bock) at the Viersener district Dülken.

Every year on the 11. of November members of the Narrenakademie (formerly principally only academics, merchants and city councillors)have their jester's ride on wooden hobby-horses around the windmill and open thus open the Dülken carnival session. The ride around the Narren-mill is a tradition, which goes back to the 18th-century, but was probably standard from the start of the mounted academy already. Old medals, flags, hats and books, which verify this are kept in the mill's museum.'
