Mayworm hammer
Maiwormshammer is a former settlement that was devastated for the construction of the Biggetalsperre . Maiwormshammer was in North Rhine-Westphalia in the middle Biggetal between Olpe and Attendorn .
The construction of the dam was decided before the Second World War , but had to be postponed for the duration of the war. The project was resumed around 1950. In 1965 the Biggetalsperre was completed, so that the damming of water could begin. The area of the former village is now on the bottom of the dam in the area between the L512 road and Gilberg Island .
history
The former Maiwormshammer farm was northeast of Listernohl . There was originally a mill that belonged to the Listernohl estate and is documented as early as 1334 and 1387. The water gradient at the confluence of the Lister into the Bigge later served to operate an iron hammer , which was called "Selfhammer" (1446) because the water drove it "by itself".
The mill was sold in 1417 by Henrich Sterneberg to Henrich Weke, who donated it with other properties to found the Ewig Monastery . In 1464 the hammer was leased to Peter Hütte von Volmerhusen for 12 years. After the hammer fell into disrepair, the citizens of Attendorn, Dietrich Hentze and Helias Hütte von Volmerhusen, had the hammer rebuilt with the approval of the monastery and a house built next to it in 1478. Hentze and his heirs gave the same to the Ewig monastery in exchange for a memo. Peter Hütte leased the hammer for a further 6 years.
Towards the end of the 15th century the family Maiworm was from the monastery forever with good and Hammer invested ; hence the name Mayworm hammer. The name Maiworm is closely related to the oldest iron industry in the Olper area. Politically, the estate belonged to the Waldenburg office and in the Gogericht and parish Attendorn to the Langenohl peasantry , which also included surrounding towns such as Listernohl, Imminghausen , Ackerschott , Bruchwalze and others. In the treasury register of 1543 Johann Mayworm is mentioned with a tax of 1 gold gulden and Peter Mayworm with ½ Gg. In the registry of 1565 Henrich Meiwormb was taxed with 2 gold guilders.
Around 1560/62 Heinrich Reusche from Stade married the daughter Dorothea on Maiwormshammer. He later bought lots of land and became very wealthy. In 1612 Johann Reusche called Meyworm had to pay hammer money on two hammer stoves. Around 1648/49 Peter Hundt (1620 / 29–1711) from Drolshagen married Elisabeth Reusche. There were often arguments between the monastery and him. Therefore the Canon sold the hammer with accessories in 1664 to Peter Hundt called Meyworm for 450 Rtlr. , of which 300 Rtlr. were to be paid immediately. Peter Hundt, who had three other marriages after the death of his wife Elisabeth (1673), is the ancestor of many Rhoder and Olper families. In 1664, the Ewig monastery only sold the hammer mill, but not the Maiwormshammer estate. The estate, essentially a large meadow area, was only sold after the monastery was dissolved in 1803, probably also to the Hundt family.
The name Hundt was replaced in Maiwormshammer 1822 by the marriage of Peter Anton Wurm (1793–1863) from Altenhof . Franz Wurm ran an inn in his house at the end of the 19th century. The property's buildings were most recently the farmhouse built in 1788 (later used as a stable) and the massive residential building attached to it in 1900, in which the Listernohl post office had also been located since 1926. The old “Spieker” from 1577 was carefully removed and rebuilt in the Detmold open-air museum . The last owner of the farm, Alfons Wurm, moved into a new farm near Wenholthausen before his farm in Maiwormshammer was demolished .
A partner in the iron hammer were around 1800 Mayor August Hundt in Olpe, Ferdinand Sondermann in Olpe and Franz summer coupon . In 1827 the piece hammer had consumed 150 wagons of charcoal and with 5 men produced 200 carts of pig iron valued at 3400 Rtlr. for 150 carts of steel for 7500 Rtlr. The outdated hammer mill was converted into a puddling mill around 1850 , in which 3 heating furnaces and 3 welding fires were used in 1855. The production of the year yielded with 23 workers (with family 55 people) 1000 Ztr. Bar iron to 5500 thalers. Robert Bonzel from Olpe zu Maiwormshammer combined a rolling mill with a stovepipe forge with the puddling plant (popularly known as “Piepenklöpperigge”), in 1855 6094 ct. Black sheet metal for 45,705 thalers were worked there. Bonzel's son Josef ran the factory until 1886 and then sold it to the Sohler company (Sohler'sche Eisenwerke) in Attendorn, which built a plumbing shop on the slag site above the factory pond in 1902/03. The rolling mill received 4 rolling trains and steam operation was introduced in addition to the old water power. There were 62 workers and production averaged 50 double wagon panels per month. The entire factory was acquired by Ursell in Attendorn in 1928, which shut down the rolling mill but continued to operate the plumbing. In 1931 the Otto Wolff Group bought the rolling mill in Cologne . He dismantled the operation and also tore down the buildings. The area with the water rights was then acquired by the Ruhrtalsperrenverein in Essen , which built a small power plant there and connected it to the Listerkraftwerk. The plumbing shop was acquired by the Paß & Co. company in Weidenau in 1938 and was last used by the Peterseim company in Olpe. Politically, from 1819 Maiwormshammer belonged to the Attendorn municipality in the Attendorn-Land municipality .
In 1817 there was a house and farm with 11 residents in Maiwormshammer, in 1885 there were 26 people in 3 houses. The address book from 1899 has the names "Franz Wurm, innkeeper and Gottfried Langenohl, landowner and rendant ". More houses were built in later decades. In 1924 there were 63 inhabitants. In 1936 Maiwormshammer had 7 houses with 11 households and 58 residents. In 1946 there were 78 residents. The address book from 1956 has the names "Arns, Henze, Hesener (3), Hesse (3), Kathol, Keseberg (4), Klein (4), Kost, Sangermann, Schmitt, Schneider, Siepe, Stracke, Wagner, Walter ( 2) and worm (7) ”.
