Eisenhammer Shell Hops
The Eisenhammer Schellhopfen was located at the confluence of the Zottbach and the Schillhopfenbach in the Upper Palatinate town of Pleystein .
history
In the Upper Palatinate hammer cleaning of 1387, Hans Kastner is named here as the owner, who was able to acquire not only shell hops (Stellhofen) but also the hammer Unterschnaittenbach . In 1418 the work is in the hands of Erhard Wollenzhofer , followed by a Schellhopfer on the Blechhammer , who gave the hammer mill and the entire hamlet its name. The hammer belonged to the Waldthurn dominion . During the Thirty Years War , this hammer, like all the others in the Zottbachtal, was destroyed by the Mansfeld troops and no longer rebuilt.
Later story
Overgrown ruins of the plant are said to have been recognizable in 1850, and the ironworks house was still in use. This was owned by Johann Matthias Heitzer in 1781 , and Adam Heitzer is named as the owner in 1843 . In 1856, shell hops came to the parish of Pleystein under the owner Michael Heitzer . Johann Haberstumpf bought the property around 1860 ; But this lived on the hammer Peugenhammer and so shell hops were given up. In 1867, Schellhopfen (then belonging to Neuenhammer ) is called with 9 residents and 3 buildings. In 1964 Schellhopfen came to the municipality of Bernrieth, which in turn was dissolved on January 1, 1972 and whose districts were divided between Pleystein and Waldthurn. Today, shell hops have not even received a field name.
