Hammer Gröbenstädt
The hammer Gröbenstädt was located in the district of the same name , which today is part of the Moosbach market in the Upper Palatinate district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab . The plant has been powered by the water power of the Pfreimd since the 14th century . The hammer house that exists today has a half-hipped roof and dates from the 18th century (1838); with the associated chapel from 1742, it is a listed ensemble in Gröbenstädt (house no. 1).
history
On May 21, 1386, Count Palatine Ruprecht the Younger gave Chunrad the Plechschmied the hammer with all related items for one pound of Regensburg pfennigs as annual interest. In the Upper Palatinate hammer cleaning of 1387, Gröbenstädt is listed as a sheet metal hammer .
A farm in Gröbenstädt, which was sold to Ulrich den Hechtlein on February 6, 1405 , went to hammer master Jorgen dem Praitter in 1409 . He also bought the Zehentgarben from Gebhard Hossel von Moosbach's two farms in Gröbenstädt , which were a fief of Heinrich Treswitzer . On August 24, 1414 Jörg Praitter , hammer master at Treswitz, and his cousin Mulhaintz , hammer master at Gröbenstädt, had to pledge their hammers to Chunraden the Peratzhauser . The hammer in Gröbenstädt was then repeatedly passed on as a deposit. Ott , the bailiff of Nittendorf , left it to the Palatinate land clerk Hans Dorner on June 27, 1425 . However, Jörg Praitter took legal action against him , who still asserted claims from his previous property. In the end, Hans Dorner remained in possession of the hammer, but had to pay off all of Jörg Praitter's debts to the Moosbach Church. The next owner is Hans Aurochs . On July 20, 1434, he sold the hammer and the farm acquired by Jörg Praitter to Duke Johann . In 1457 Leonhard Mendel received a hammer letter for Gröbenstädt from Count Palatine Otto . In 1500 the hammer master Jakob Sindleuttner had the hammer in his possession. However, in 1516 this is referred to as deserted. However, it must have been put back into operation shortly afterwards, because Jakob Sider is named here in 1524, Ulrich Kopp in 1566 , Wolf Sindleuttner in 1578 and Hans Pleyer in 1593 . From 1581 Gröbenstädt is known as Schienhammer . He obtained the ore from Amberg , and from 1670 also from Sulzbach .
Although it is reported that the hammer was destroyed by the Mansfeld troops in the Thirty Years War , this does not seem to be true. As can be seen from an exchange of letters, the hammer mill owner Pleyer has given the officers in his quarters a large loan, whereupon the government in Amberg told the caretaker von Treswitz that the loan should be left as the sum was urgently needed for war expenses was needed.
In 1645 Bartholomäus Göringer , Treswitz's caretaker, was named the owner of the hammer. He was the fiefdom of Susanne , widow of Friedrich Schott . The heirs of Göringer applied for the freedom of the landlords for Gröbenstädt , but this was not approved. In 1696, the next owner, Wolfgang von Grafenreit , sought again for freedom from the landed people, in 1701 his brothers and in 1717 the widow of Wolfgang von Grafenreit , again without success. In 1709 Cecilia von Grafenreit owned the malleable hammer and a desolate farm in Treswitz. On January 13, 1722, Nikolaus Frank bought the hammer from Wolfgang von Grafenrieth's widow , and on April 24, 1733, the estate was passed on to his son of the same name. Georg Adam Frank is named as the owner in 1762. In 1774, Simon Winter bought the hammer with saw and grinder and tried again to achieve freedom from the state, which was finally not approved by the Munich court chamber. A report by the then owner Joseph von Hardt about the status of the plant comes from 1818 . At that time it was an iron hammer without a loop and a Zain hammer . Six hammer smiths and a coal burner worked here. 600 quintals of iron were produced annually and sold for 13 guilders per quintal. The material costs without wages amounted to 6,880 guilders, so that a profit of 920 guilders resulted.
In 1843 the property went to Herrmann von Sperl . These included the ironworks built in 1832, a blast furnace, a Zainhammer from 1830, a coal shed at the pond from 1834, a grinding mill from 1839, an iron turning building from 1842 as well as other residential and auxiliary buildings and a chapel. His successor Karl von Sperl established a glass grinding and polishing plant here in 1851 . In 1865 an iron and machine factory was also opened, as was a cutting saw . On May 4th 1883 the property was handed over to Maria von Sperl and her groom Johann Rast von Etzenricht . The glass grinding and polishing plant was still in operation at the beginning of the war in 1939. Hydropower has been used to generate electricity since 1950. The next owner was Hermann Rast , he ran a farm here and the sawmill was leased.
