The Hundsschüppe was a Hammerkotten in the Bergisch city of Wuppertal in North Rhine-Westphalia . The origin of its peculiar name is unclear, as Kotten were usually named after their location ( stream , locality or district ) or after their owner or owner .
location
The hammer desert with its remains that still exist today is located in the southern part of the city just a few meters north of the city limits of Remscheid . Former Kotten is in Gelpe valley , which in this section also Zillertal is called, just before the mouth of Saalbach in the Gelpe and only a few meters to the northeast of the trip premises House Zillertal. It is located in the district of the town of Ronsdorf , which was independent until 1929 and which, like the immediately adjacent Cronenberg , which is only separated by the course of the Gelpe, has been a district of Wuppertal ever since .
history
The first written mention of the water drive is dated to 1607. In 1623 an Ern on the West is named as the owner. At this time, this is covered with 4 Albus water knowledge. On 7 June 1686 a done concession by Duke Johann Wilhelm II. Of Jülich and Berg (also called "Jan Wellem") for the construction of a hammer mill .
In 1719, Peter Mannes (baptized 1675; † 1749, lived in West until 1711 , then in Oelingrath ) is mentioned as another owner who bought the Kotten at the time. For 24 Reichstaler, with the permission of the landowners Gottfried, Johannes and Heinrich aufm Heydt, he had a further upper ditch built through their brook meadow to the reservoir, which was fed from the Saalbach. This inflow can still be guessed at today, albeit mostly backfilled and overbuilt with the hiking trail to the Ronsdorf dam or to Heidt / Heusiepen .
From then on, the facility will remain in the ownership of Peter Mannes and his family for the next few decades. In 1749 a Peter Arntz was tenant of the complex in the west . On October 6, 1802, the Mannes family sold the Hundsschüppe to the steel manufacturer Johann Carl Noltzen from the Huckenbach estate . Under him the hammer is called "Hundertschüppe" (although the origin of the name is apparently not clear), and referred to as a horizontal and steel hammer . As early as May 18, 1805, he sold the Hundsschüppe for 3,650 Reichstaler (paid out in French Krontaler at 117 Stüber each and Brabant Kronen at 114 Stüber each) to the owners' association Johann Caspar Schnüring, Anna Christine Meister, Peter Wilhelm Meister and his wife Marie Catharina Rittershaus, all residing in Holthausen . The handover took place on May 1, 1806.
The Hundsschüppe is recorded together with the reservoir in the original cadastre from 1815; In 1895 amendments were made to this. In 1828 Peter Wilhelm Meister Jun. Inherited a hammer half. In 1829 the Hundsschüppe was referred to as a steel refining hammer by "Meister und Schnöring" . According to the description, the hammer had three overshot water wheels and two fires at that time. In 1829 the hammer was out of order for a long time due to a drought. But even in years with normal rainfall, the hammer stood still several days a week between May and November due to a lack of water. In 1834 it is mentioned that a Friedrich Meister and an assistant produce goods there. In 1837 two fires with a fan are mentioned again .
In 1832 the Hundsschüppe belonged to the Heider Rotte in the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, categorized as hammer mills according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had a manufacturing building at that time. At that time there were four residents living in the area, all of whom were Protestant.
On October 1, 1839, Carl Theodor Schlieper from Clemenshammer became co-owner of the facility on the basis of a purchase agreement dated September 16, 1839. This had to be but from the beginning the effort sole owner and complained against the other co-owners and heirs of Johann Caspar Schnüring because Naturalunteilbarkeit . He won this process with a judgment of February 25, 1839. In the files, the value of the hammer is estimated by experts at 3,096 thalers, 4 silver groschen and 8 thalers. An auction was then arranged, which took place on April 15, 1840 at the landlord Abraham Eller in Ronsdorf . After a four-hour bidding round, Carl Theodor Schlieper was finally awarded the contract for 4,200 thalers and took possession of the hammer on May 1, 1840. He did not pay the purchase price until 1845; in the meantime he had to pay interest. The facility has now been leased.
On October 27, 1867, after the death of Carl Theodor Schlieper , the Hundsschüppe was auctioned again, this time at a Wilhelm Ibach zu Clemenshammer. Carl Theodors' sons Carl Theodor Schlieper Jun. And Richard Schlieper , who were involved in inheritance disputes with their mother , bought the hammer for 3900 thalers and ran it together. In 1883 Richard Schlieper bought the other half of the hammer, valued at 11,400 marks (or 3800 thalers), from his brother. After Richard Schlieper's death , his son and businessman Richard Schlieper Jun. Inherited the Hundsschüppe and leased it to an Ernst Jöker. Jöker not only drew attention to himself with technical innovations, he also founded the Zillertal restaurant with a boat pond and a slide as an attraction.
The Hundsschüppe was operated until 1952, when it was demolished in 1960.
From 1934 to the 1970s, the Hundsschüppe ski jump was located nearby .
Description and state of preservation
In the early 20th century, today's desert was still a single-storey half-timbered building clad with wooden planks with an attic that was covered with pans . The foundation was made of rubble stones. A smaller extension, built in the same way, was added to the southwest. The iron hammer had two water wheels , of which the one driving the hammer shaft was overshot . Another was used to operate the bellows . The buildings of the hammer are no longer available today due to the decay that began in the 1930s and the - at least very likely - dismantling of still usable parts - apart from the mossy and partially overgrown foundation or hip walls . In contrast to this, the dam , consisting of the elongated and somewhat elevated reservoir on the slope with the upper ditch ( Mühlengraben ) fed by the Gelpe , the ice house and the lower ditch that leads back into the same stream is still in a good state of preservation.
Monument protection
Since the remains of the Hundsschüppe are an example of the pre-industrial and early industrial era in the Bergisches Land, here in particular in the Gelpe and Saalbach valleys, the hammer with the dam (pond, upper and lower ditch) and ice house was built on January 7, 1997 placed under protection as a ground monument .
