history

The place today called Plechhammer was called "Vorderlangau" in the 14th century and in the hammer cleaning documents from 1387 it appears as "Hammer in der Langau". The place Plechhammer was also called "Hammergut Vorderlangau" and "Hammer Vorderlangau". This hammer , already in use in the 14th century, died in 1500. In 1549 Peter Zollatsch from Waltenried tried to put the Hammer Vorderlangau back into operation, but had to fight difficult battles with Oberviechtach, which wanted to prevent competition for the Lukahammer 1.5 km further south . Zollitsch finally got the official approval for the hammer in 1555 and his son-in-law Erhard Strobel received the electoral succession letter for it on March 22, 1563. In 1652 the hammer master Stephan Voith the Younger from Pleystein bought the hammer, which was deserted and dilapidated from the time of the Thirty Years' War . The hammer house had burned down. He rebuilt the hammer and put it into operation at a profit. In addition to the hammer, a cutting saw , a grinding mill , a fireplace and a tobacco plant were built in Vorderlangau.

In the course of the Spanish War of Succession , the hammer was burned down at the beginning of the 18th century and Saxon auxiliary troops of the Austrians stole 8,000 guilders from the Hammergut . Stephan Voith died in 1706 and his son Johann Zacharias Voith became the new hammer master. In 1752 the hammer Vorderlangau was sold to Hofmarkherr Georg Wolfgang Schmauß zu Pullenried - former glass master von Plöß - whose son Georg Michael von Schmauß shut down the hammer and built a mirror grinding factory in its place in 1785.

On March 23, 1913 (Easter), Plechhammer was listed as part of the Pullenried parish with five houses and 29 residents.

On December 31, 1969, the municipality of Pullenried had 76 houses, 336 inhabitants and an area of ​​537 hectares, of which 145 hectares were forest. To her belonged:
