Hammerschmiede Schwabsoien
The hammer forge in Schwabsoien in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau was first mentioned in 1415 and originally belonged to the Sankt Mang monastery in Füssen. At the time, it was a large company that smelted and processed iron.
After the hammer forge was no longer in use, private individuals began restoring it in 1986 and the Schwabsoien hammer mill museum was opened two years later. The hammer mechanism, consisting of three tail hammers , could be rebuilt true to the original. The tail hammers are driven by a large shaft from the rear-ridden water wheel. The waterwheel is located on a small tuff inflow of the Schönach , which has its headwaters not far from the Hammerschmiede. In addition to the tail hammers, an old grinder is just as functional as a spring hammer or a lathe. In addition, historical tools and documentation of the history of the hammer mill are exhibited in today's hammer mill museum.
The museum, which is part of the Auerbergland Museum Association, is open every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from May to September as well as on Whit Monday (Mill Day in Schwabsoien) and by appointment.
