Laaber hammer mill

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eisenhammer Inn in Laaber

The Laaber hammer mill was located in the Upper Palatinate town of Laaber of the same name . The hammer was powered by the water of the Black Labers . The plant was founded in the 14th century and left in the 17th century. It was initially called Oberer Fürstenhammer (the Lower Fürstenhammer was the Eisenhammer Edlhausen ).

history

Hammer master Seyfried Prenner joined the Upper Palatinate hammer cleaning company on October 22, 1387 with his rail hammer . The ore, which was melted in a furnace and processed into rails or rods in a corrugated hearth , came from Amberg . From there it was brought by ships via Vils and Naab to Regensburg to Eisenlände and then reached Laaber by land. In a sage book from 1514 about the Laaber office, a hammer, two mills and a new sawmill are mentioned in the place.

A tin hammer is mentioned here for the beginning of the 17th century , although it is unclear whether this corresponds to the earlier rail hammer. 1605/1606 is on the orders of Duke Philipp Ludwig a Zainhammer built, the finer iron grades such as flat bars and square steel produced, by forging and wire hammers were processed. Part of the pig iron was obtained from the ironworks in Pielenhofen . The hammer was owned by the sovereign Wolfgang Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg .

“ Hoc et sequenti anno are the hammer at the lab from our gnd. Prince and Lord Duke Philipps Ludwig pfaltzgraven was erected by frembte Steuermarkische werkleuth, and was the first to stand against the parish meadows. "

The plant in Laaber was still in operation during the Thirty Years War . In 1623 the plant was administered by Johann Faber at the same time as that in Pielenhofen . In 1630, the factory was still in operation, as evidenced by the annual accounts that still exist.

The factory should have been in the Vormarkt at the Schleifbräu . In 1811 Georg Hoffmann is named here as the owner of the Spiegelglasschleife , who also founded Laaber's first private brewery here.
