history

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1714 when a Peter Braß paid a gold guilder concession fee for the operation of a fruit mill and an oil mill . In the course of time, the building underwent considerable changes in use: from 1737 to 1853 it was operated as a Reckhammer , again as a fruit and grain mill until 1867 , and as a colored wood and bone mill until 1905 . The name comes from the owning family Goldenberg (1761-1831).

On July 12, 1737, Peter Wilhelm Brass (1693–1761) paid 3/4 gold gulden water knowledge for two coal-driven iron hammers on the Dörpe in place of the fulling and oil mill approved in 1714. After the death of Peter Brass (1761), Johann Goldenberg must have become the owner of the hammers, who is still mentioned in 1812.

December 3, 1778: Hermann Braches and wife Anna Cath. Goldenberg sold the so-called Goldenberg hammer for 2915 thalers to the Engelbert brothers, Johann and Abraham Müller. Two church calls (announcements) were made, with the addition, whoever had objections should report. The Saalscheider heirs lodged an objection without the seller Braches wanting to acknowledge this. After a legal dispute, the Sallscheid heirs were granted the right to purchase due to the claim that the hammer was built on a leasehold. A comparison was made between the two in such a way that the Saalscheid heirs could buy the hammer for the same price as the Müller brothers. The costs should be offset against each other.

On April 28, 1785, Johann Müller filed an action for compensation against the Braches couple for himself and his brothers. He had to keep the agreed purchase money ready from 1779 to 1785 and also 5,000 thalers for processing fees, for which he demands the lost interest. He asked for the purchase money to be arrested. The plaintiff is dismissed and sentenced to 2/3 of the costs.

August 27, 1783: Settlement between the Saalscheid heirs and the Braches couple after a long legal dispute such that the former acquire the hammer for Rthl 2915.

1806 The hammer was issued for sale for a bid of 3865 Reichsthaler by the numerous Saalscheider trademark heirs and awarded to Carl Noltzen. At the objection of local manager Deyks to the castle, the sale was not approved. The dissolved Canonie Bayenburg was involved with 4 parts in the hammer. Finance Minister Agar subsequently approved the sale and demanded his share of the proceeds. On the other hand, Noltzen objected, arguing that the hammer still had a mortgage of 2000 Rthl. lie. The ministry demanded its share of 500 Rthl. furthermore with the note that it was not asked when taking out the mortgage. Noltzen explained that the 2000 Rthl. Mortgage from 1783 and represent a residual debt of the purchase price at that time. Deyk's council was commissioned to investigate the case and, in the presence of the investor Abraham Verhof, to inspect and report on the original documents presented. This report confirmed the presentation of the Saalscheid heirs. Minister Agar recognized this, but the heirs and Noltzen were to bear the costs of the proceedings.

In 1815/16 a resident lived in the village. In 1832 Goldenbergshammer belonged to the Lüdorfer Honschaft , which was part of the Hückeswagen external citizenship within the Hückeswagen mayor . The place, categorized as a hamlet and factory complex according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings, two factories or mills and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 30 residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, three houses with 37 inhabitants are given. At that time the place belonged to the rural community Neuhückeswagen within the Lennep district . In 1895 the place had three houses with 42 inhabitants, in 1905 three houses and 48 inhabitants.

From 1905, the building was used as a restaurant and day trip until it burned out in 1943 as a result of a bomb attack. The following year the ruins were the provisional administrative headquarters of the hospital in Bornefeld . In 1952 the complete reconstruction followed. From 1976 to 1977 a pottery school moved in , and a restaurant until 1981. The Goldenbergshammer has been used as a residential building since 1984.
