After the First Silesian War in 1742, Alt Hammer and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Alt Hammer belonged to the district of Brieg in the administrative district of Breslau from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Protestant school, a sawmill, a sub-forestry department, a cattle customs levy and 78 other houses in the village. In the same year, 482 people lived in Alt Hammer, 61 of them Catholic. In 1874 the district of Karlsmarkt was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Alt Hammer, Carlsburg, Carlsmarkt, Kauern and Raschwitz and the manor districts of Alt Hammer, Carlsmarkt, Kauern and Stoberau.
