Hammer Neumühle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hammer Neumühle (sometimes also known as Hammer Neumühl ) was located in the Neumühle district of the same name in the Upper Palatinate town of Amberg . The iron hammer or the mill that was built here later was driven by the water of the Vils .

history

In the Duke's Surbar from 1280, only one mill is mentioned here, which was converted into a hammer mill in 1326 and which was subject to interest for the Duke. Here, too, the hammer lord could exercise lower jurisdiction over the hammer people .

The hammer was owned by Hans Castner, mentioned around 1349 . After his death († 1383) the work came to his wife Osanna , as he obviously had no body life. In 1387 the latter joined the Upper Palatinate hammer cleaning company with this hammer and leased it to Conrad Pflaum , a citizen of Amberg, for an interest of 1 penny a week. After the death of Osanna (presumably † 1395) the hammer came to the descendants of Friedrich Castner the Elder , probably the older brother of Hans . The work later came into the possession of Friedrich Castner the Younger or his sons; the next owner is Hans Castner the Younger , son of Friedrich . In 1430 Georg Castner sold the Neumühle hammer, which had probably passed to him because of debts from his cousin Hans the boy , to his cousin Heinrich . On August 29, 1478 presented Elector Philipp to Heidelberg the Georg Kastner a hammer letter over the hammer Neumühle. He had to pay 7 pounds and 40 pfennigs annual interest. Because of the water damming there was a dispute with the city of Amberg in 1466 and 1476. Then the work came to Sebastian Kastner , son of Georg . After his death († September 24, 1539) the work was handed over to the Chancellor Dr. Knod sold. His widow Ursula sold the hammer to the city of Amberg after 1680. After a dispute, in 1774, Elector Maximilian Joseph granted the city magistrate freedom of the landed people and court justice, which was repealed in the course of the reforms at the beginning of the 19th century. The royal Saxon hospital was housed here. In 1811 the magistrate sold the dilapidated castle with outbuildings and 14 days of land to the school councilor Fröhlich .

The hammer was a rail hammer and was still in use in 1557. In 1557 he stopped his business due to a lack of wood in the Amberg area and was continued as a mill. From a report by Johann German Barbing to Elector Ferdinand Maria from January 16, 1666, it says about the wire hammer: "A Schinhammer, called zu Neumühl, located above the city of Amberg, also belongs to the mayor and council, is just like the" Tradthammer " everything perished and instead there was only a mill without a saw. No hope for building up from the above cause. "
