Hammer mill from Battenberg
The hammer mill from Battenberg is a tail hammer . It originally stood in Battenberg (Eder) in Waldeck-Frankenberg and its core parts were in the 1980 Hessenpark in Neu-Anspach translocated .
history
In 1772 , Auhammer, northwest of Battenberg an der Eder , was first mentioned in a document.
"By God's grace We Ludwig Landgrave of Hesse hereby certify that we [...] have graciously given permission to put an iron, rod and hammer hammer in our office in Battenberg an der Eder [...] on the so-called Aue."
The founders were three princely officials: salt inspector Friedrich Ludwig Klingelhöfer, city governor Andreas Stapp and hut manager Johann Ernst Doepp. The facility, built in 1773, consisted of a rod hammer with two fires, a Zainhammer and a calcining house. In 1789 the Hessian-Darmstadt domain administration became the owner of the hammer. In 1873 the Westphalian ironworks Hasenclever & Sohn acquired the hammer mill.
In 1958 the hammer mill was shut down. After the demolition of the building, only parts of the hammer mill remained: the cast iron water wheel , the bear , the hammer handle and the sleeve. These parts were brought to the Hessenpark and built into the hammer mill, which was reconstructed there in 1980/81 based on the historical model.
The reconstruction of the hammer house and hammer represents the state of 1873. The Auhammer is driven by an overshot water wheel, in which the water flows in from above.
