Hammertal (Remscheid)
The Hammertal lies in the Remscheid city area and takes its name from the former hammer mills that used to be in operation here. The Hammertal is bounded by the districts of Reinshagen , Güldenwerth , Vieringhausen , Kremenholl and Ehringhausen . The hammer mills were driven by the Lobach and Linklauer Bach . The hammers produced high-quality refined steel or processed it further. Most of the hammers and kotten are no longer preserved today.

Diederichskotten
The Kotten dates from the 18th century. Today only an extension of the former Kottens is preserved. It was originally called Hens-Jans-Kotten until only the owner's name Diederichskotten was used. A separate moat , which still exists today (an upper ditch of the Lobach), led to the Diederichskotten. The current house was built in 1852, it has replaced an older building.
Diederichshammer
The hammer was in the 17th century. built and it was called iron or loo works. In 1731/32 it fell to the Diederichs trading house. In 1935 it was canceled.
Jagenberghammer
From the former hammer, only the elongated ponds remain, in which newts and fire salamanders have settled.
Nature reserve
The Hammertal nature reserve is 40.46 hectares in size. Particularly worthy of protection are the river valleys of the Lobach, Linkluer Bach, Brückendelle, Schafsdelle, Bach am Diederichshammer, Tyroler Bach, Hüttenhammer and Kellershammer-Siefen. In addition to oak and beech forests and oak-hornbeam stands, there are rocky habitats and animal and plant species worthy of protection ( kingfisher , dipper , C-butterfly , nodding two-toothed ). Not least because of its cultural and historical importance, the valley is under protection. Here, in particular, the remains of the hammers and cottages ( quarry stone walls , upper ditches, remains of a pond) are worth mentioning.
Orphanage
There was a poor house in Lobachtal, which was demolished in 1860 and rebuilt in 1861 as the Halbach Foundation . After the Stockder Foundation was rebuilt in Vieringhausen in 1879, the building was used as an orphanage.
