Hammerschrott is a district of the market Neuhaus an der Pegnitz in the Middle Franconian district of Nürnberger Land in Bavaria .

The village is located in the Pegnitz Valley , about 800 m northeast of Neuhaus and immediately adjacent.

history

In 1326 the place was mentioned in the Bavarian Salbuch as "Hammer Schrotonis", ie as the hammer of a Schroto. In 1407 he was named as a Bamberg fief.

The hammer scrap was once a large industrial company. In the Middle Ages, this also included a manor house . The permanent employees included a smelter, a master blacksmith, a chopper and a cabbage knife as well as iron workers and carters. The hammer became a bronze factory and later a wood wool factory. The owner Eberhard Weith had a power station set up. Due to this innovation, there was electric light in Neuhaus as early as 1911. The power station supplied the towns of Neuhaus, Krottensee and Hammerschrott with electricity. In 1983 the power station was sold to the Oberfranken overland plant .

In 1988, 69 people lived in 11 houses in hammer scrap.

Local chapel

In the center there is a local Catholic chapel. The baroque-style new building from 1928 has a roof turret. The original building from which the furnishings come was erected in 1774. The chapel is listed as a monument .
