location

Isenhammer is located along the cantonal road between Gossau and Oberglatt at the confluence of the Dorfbach Gossau or the former Kellenbach or Chellenbach in the Glatt. Nearby hamlets are Burgau , Espel and Chressbrunnen .

The hamlet has two residential buildings on the Gossau side and one residential building and two agricultural buildings on the Flawil side. In addition, there is the Eisenhammer plant of the Cilander corporation, some 300 meters further downstream .

history

In 1890 Egg , Burgau, Oberglatt and Isenhammer were combined to form the so-called outer area and jointly represented by a school council. The Burgau school was closed in 2004.

The company Tribelhorn und Meyer, since 1888 Cilander , started a bleaching and searing plant in the Eisenhammer plant in 1871 , after the use of the Glatt water there had been approved for an unlimited period, although the operators of the Buchenthal cold water plant objected to it feared a deterioration in water quality. The water was carried to the company premises through a canal. Until 1980 the water was used by Cilander. The associated Isenhammerweiher served as a balancing reservoir regulation of the water requirement of the plant. In 2012 this was removed as part of a renaturation and in 2014 it was sold to Pro Natura .

Alpiq (formerly Atel ) has been using the hydropower plant built there in 1993 since August 2008 . It produces around 700 MWh of electrical energy annually, which is sold to the Technischen Betriebe Flawil. The concession runs until 2041.
