Meanwhile the windmill is replaced from the Helenastraat to the current place. This replacement was probably done in 1918/1919 by instruction of Franciscus Bakermans by the millwright's shop Gebr. van Tartwijk from Stratum.
In October 1922 Hendrikus van den Hoogen becomes the miller of the postmill in Uden.
