history
A hammer mill operated by Clemens Hammerschmid zu Marscheid stood here as early as 1640 . In 1824 the hammer is known as the moth hammer . The water drive , which had three overshot water wheels (one for the two drop hammers with different striking frequencies and two for the forge blower ), was converted from a steel refining hammer to a steel hammer in 1898 and taken over by Franz Carl Diederichs in 1902 . In 1897, the hammer had a monthly output of 500 kg of refining steel , the turnover was between 1,500 and 2,000 marks. Iron was welded together here as a scrap hammer , material for wheel tires was forged, horseshoe steel was made, clay knives and clay cutters were made for the brick industry and wing knives were made.
In 1903, a locomobile with 20 hp was bought for the times of the water shortage . The Diederichs family operated the hammer for several years and, among other things, produced shafts , floors and discs with 20 workers during the First World War . In 1906 the house, which is still preserved today, was built, which at that time also received a telephone connection. In 1912 a second traction engine was added. In 1913, an 11 tonne scabbard was delivered by horse-drawn vehicle. A boiler house was built on the mountainside to operate a steam-powered 15 quintals hammer. A 15 to scabbard was added in the First World War. Due to lack of space, the Diederichs family left the Marscheider Bachtal in 1919 and relocated the now extensive factory facilities of their company Dirostahl near Remscheid - Neuenhaus .
A CG Kotte took over the Diederichshammer in 1924 and was now called the Kotte-Hammer . Leaf springs , ploughshares and other things for rural use were made by him . In 1946 the hammer burned down under the last owners, Falkenroth and Austerlitz , and was not rebuilt.
The immediately adjacent service hammer has been in use since 1669 and also served as a hammer mill for various operator families. Among other things, it belonged to the Erbslöh company , from 1902 to the Diederichs family and from 1919 to the CGKotte . The hammer is named after its blacksmith Hermann Dienes . When the steel company Krupp made a film about the history of refining steel production in the 1930s, film recordings were made with the blacksmith Hermann Dienes at the service hammer . In June 1938, after the completion of the film, Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach visited the service hammer and personally invited the blacksmith Dienes to a factory tour and a screening of the film in Essen . In 1959 operations in the service hammer were discontinued.
In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, a house with eight residents is given. Today only two houses remain in the local area.
