 Following reunification of Germany, the region surrounding Woldegk has declined economically, and remains one of the poorest sections of the country.In the late 20th century, some of the distinctive historic windmills of Woldegk were rebuilt and refurbished, one of which is open as a museum, and the mill pond also has been rebuilt.Tourist literature and the town's motto promote Woldegk as the "City of Windmills" (Stadt der Windmühlen).
