history
The first mention of Kupferhammer can be found in 1597.
On the Blombach there was a copper hammer , which gave the later place its name. The date of origin, production dates and the demolition of the water drive are not known, only a photograph from the turn of the century 1899/1900 is known. The company Ehrenberg & Leuschner, which is subject to trade tax, rolled copper sheets in the copper hammer . The copper came mainly from the copper works near Varresbeck . In 1828, the workers at the plant received a free apartment on site in addition to a weekly wage. The hammer paid 34 thalers for water knowledge and had two narrow overshot water wheels , one for the drop hammer and one for the rolling machine . The inventory in 1834 included a copper roller , a silver roller and a draw furnace . Only the hammer pond remains of the water drive. From May to November the copper hammer often stood still due to a lack of water.
Ten meters down the stream stood another hammer mill , the Sieperhammer , also known as the Mottenhammer or Passhammer . The hammer belonged to a widow Casper Diederich Sieper until 1775 , then Anna Katharina Sieper and shortly afterwards Casper Sieper the Elder from the desert 1 took over the water drive. In 1824 a Friedrich Motte owned the steel hammer , which in 1830 had to pay four talers for water knowledge. The hammer mill had three overshot water wheels, one for the drop hammer and two for the forge blower .
In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, a house with three residents is given.
At the end of the 19th century, the Wuppertal – Opladen / Solingen railway line was built past the village in the valley. This is where the road from Ronsdorf passed via Erbschlö to Kupferhammer, which before the Blombachtalbrücke was built in 1959, took up all traffic in an easterly direction. In the 1950s, the Federal Motorway 1 was built through the Blombachtal.
In 1893, a branch of the Julius and August Erbslöh company from Wupperfeld was set up at the "Pfennings-Hämmer" site, and in 1904 it was significantly enlarged. The buildings mainly housed a rolling mill . In 1978 the location was given up because the company moved completely to Neviges . Today, Kupferhammer is the location of a medium-sized company.
