Copper hammer (Mixdorf)
Coordinates: 52 ° 11 ′ 1.5 ″ N , 14 ° 25 ′ 52.2 ″ E
The former copper hammer , now an inn and living space, was located between the Mittelmühle in the north and the forester's house Siehdichum in the south, on the Schlaube in today's municipality of Mixdorf ( Oder-Spree district , Brandenburg). This is crossed at the mill by the Kupferhammerweg between Mixdorf in the west and Schernsdorf in the east.
history
The copper hammer became known nationwide in the 16th century because the Beeskow blacksmith Antonius Ott built a copper hammer with a house on this site in 1553 , to which the residents came to melt down old copper equipment and obtain new ones. The Abbot von Neuzelle and the Order of St. John had given their consent to this, as Ott promised to offer his goods below the price of the competition. In 1568 the bailiff of Lower Lusatia again approved a citizen of Beeskow to build an iron hammer . The new owner of the mill, Christoph Schütz , used this hammer to process the iron stone from the Schlaubetal . It is also interesting that the Kupferhammer had a vineyard in the early modern period. A small, one acre vineyard existed until 1852. The grapes were not pressed, but eaten as food grapes.
In 1579 the mill was expanded and the new grinding mill was available to the Mixdorf farmers. Around 1594 the yield of the lawn iron stone had decreased so much that the iron hammer was sold. During the Thirty Years' War the grinding mill burned out in 1639, so a new one was built in later years. The cloth mill in Beeskow sent its cloth to the specially built fulling mill for processing from 1704 , the copper hammer was still in operation. The miller at that time was mentioned around 1688 as the hammer miller Christoph Gersdorf (Görsdorf) , in 1701 the cutter miller Melchor Zeidler , in 1730 the miller and hammer miller Gottfried Schur and in 1731 the miller Hans Kayser in Kupferhammer.
Due to an import ban on foreign copper goods and an export ban on copper scrap, which had existed in Brandenburg since 1719 , the copper market was badly damaged, as most of the copper was now purchased in Brandenburg. In 1734 the copper hammer was shut down. The reason was the rejection of a request to receive a privilege , according to which every inhabitant and coppersmith from Niederlausitz had to bring his old copper on the hammer and get all new copper there.
Another change in the mill operation took place in 1830 to cloth manufacture by Rudolf Arnheim. A settlement was established around the hammer, the workers lived in huts with the land that they got from the hammer miller. There was a wool mill , a watermill, and an acre of viticulture . The Schlaubetal was an important business location because at that time the trades could not use electricity as a driving force , so that a wool factory , a dye works , a fulling mill , a cutting mill , an office , a forge and a carpentry were also operated here.
An owner of the wool spinning factory and the mill establishment , Berthold Arzheim , was forced to face the foreclosure auction on June 20, 1861. The estimated value of the property was 72,423 thalers and 10 groschen .
Kupferhammer had its peak in the founding period after 1871. However, increasing competition from the surrounding area and a major fire in 1880 put an end to this upswing, and after 1880 the mill became a forester's house for tapping . Around 1900 the manor house became a pub .
With the installation of a turbine to generate electricity , the mill supplied the towns of Kupferhammer, Siehdichum and Schernsdorf from 1926 to 1950 .
Today there is a restaurant and the damming of the Schlaube , which is used to keep the water in the Schlaube chain above. There is a downhill section on which the Schlaube gradually overcomes the height difference over 18 thresholds and which is used for fish to migrate upstream. The water regulation of the middle Schlaubetal takes place through a backwater over the Schulzenwasser , the Langesee and the Großer and Kleiner Schinkensee up to above the Hammersee . The upper level Kupferhammer was built in 1972.
