Location of Hammer in Wipperfürth

Hammer is a village of Wipperfürth in the Oberbergischer Kreis in the administrative district of Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

The village is located in the northeast of Wipperfürth in the valley of the Hönnige on the L284 state road . Neighboring places are Wasserfuhr , Schleise , Kupferberg and Dörpinghausen .

history

In 1819 a "hammer mill" located on the Hönnige is mentioned. The topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1825 shows a mill symbol without a place name in the area of ​​the village. Up until 1903, the topographic maps in Hammer showed a mill symbol.

From 1910 to 1960 the railway line fromschlag to Wipperfürth passed the town. This railway line branched off from the Wippertalbahn at Wipperfürth station and connected to the Wuppertalbahn when it stopped . The station, named after the village, was 900 meters to the southwest, at the level of the village of Biesenbach. An industrial company settled on the former railway site.

A small chapel has stood in a private garden area since 1994. It is consecrated to the “merciful Jesus” and is open to interested visitors for prayer.
