Others
Before the Black Elster was regulated, today's Hammer Luch was part of the river system. It was also the site of a water mill until the 19th century . It is assumed that the name derives from an iron hammer that was formerly operated here . In addition to the turf iron stones that exist in this area, there is also regular cinder residue here , but no clear written mention has been made of the smelting of iron ore at this location.
