history

Neuhammer was founded in a glassworks on the Rohlau called Eulenhütte . There, around 1540 , Christoph Schürer from Burkhardtsgrün developed or improved the process for producing blue paint from cobalt . The owl hut had a significant boom at the end of the 16th century thanks to enamel painting. In 1651 the glassworks had to give way to a hammer mill. The property with the name Eulenhof belonging to the glassworks remained and formed the starting point for the new hammer mill settlement. The Eulenhof was later converted into a Meierhof. The Hofberg hunter's house has stood there since the 19th century.

The list of souls of the Elbogen district from 1651 mentions Neuhammer with about 22 families, most of them still unconverted . The men practiced the profession of charcoal burner and wood cutter. Georg Heidler was the judge.

The village belonged to the parish of St. Martin in Neudek until 1785 and was then raised to its own parish. In addition to Neuhammer, the parish also included the one-shift Saifenhäusel, which was politically part of Ullersloh . Even before the building of its own church in 1789, Neuhammer was given its own churchyard. This was necessary because in the course of a great famine and plague epidemic of 1771/72 there was no more space in the Neudek cemetery.

After the decline in mining, the residents made their living mainly from spoon production (from 1797) and lace making. A wire hammer was in operation in Neuhammer. For generations, the Fuchs family produced iron wire in Neuhammer and the blast furnace. In the first half of the 19th century it was the wire masters Johann and Joseph Fuchs and Wenzel Link.

In 1847 the village had 147 houses with 1508 inhabitants, 1 church, 1 school under the patronage of the authorities, 1 wire hammer, 1 mill and 3 taverns. A little off the beaten track was the Jägerhaus that emerged from Gut Eulenhof. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848/49, Neuhammer was under the rule of Neudek . In 1854 the place belonged to the judicial district of Neudek , since the territorial reform in 1869 to the district of Graslitz and since 1910 to the district of Neudek .

Tourism began to increase around 1900; Neuhammer developed into a summer resort and a winter sports resort. The community was from 1910 part of the district Neudek , in 1938 the county Neudek . After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Neudek district until 1945 .
