Hammerau (formerly: "Hammer in der Au") is a district of the Bavarian municipality of Ainring in the Berchtesgadener Land district in Germany .
It is located on the Austrian- Bavarian border in the southern municipality of Ainring. Hammerau is separated from the Austrian municipality of Wals-Siezenheim (districts Grünau and Käferheim) to the east by the Saalach . In the neighboring district of Feldkirchen is the parish church of the Assumption of Mary and the cemetery. In the west of Hammerau the Högl ridge rises to about 800 m above sea level. NN. and, together with the Walser Berg on the Salzburg side, forms the last breakthrough valley through which the Saalach at Hammerau leaves the alpine region and enters the Salzburg-Freilassing basin . The existing river gradient made it possible to build pre-industrial and early industrial hammer mills . In the Hammerau area, this hydropower from the Saalach is still used today by several power generation systems.
The middle of the river Saalach forms the state border between the Republic of Austria and the Federal Republic of Germany . The bridge between Wals and Hammerau was blown up by an SS command in 1945 in view of the approaching American troops and has not been rebuilt since. After decades of separation, a covered wooden pedestrian and cycle path bridge, the Hammerauer Steg, was built upstream and opened in 2002.
On the road, Hammerau can be reached via federal road 20 from the neighboring communities of Piding and Freilassing and via the Freilassing – Berchtesgaden railway with Hammerau station .
The hammer and mallet in the Ainring coat of arms come from the Hammerau ironworks. The Hammerau ironworks was founded in the 16th century by a trade union with the participation of the Salzburg Archdiocese. The Prussian ruling house of the Hohenzollern sold it to the member of the NSDAP and armaments entrepreneur Alfred Zeller after the global economic crisis . After the bankruptcy in the 1970s, it went to the Freilassing entrepreneur Max Aicher and is now known as Stahlwerk Annahütte .
