history

Feilershammer is first mentioned in 1417; At that time, Seibold Hecker sold his " right to Veylershamer, which ee a mul, located on Haidenaab ... than those of the closters zum Speinhart, behind which the hamer is located ". Feilershammer belonged to Landsasserei Trabitz, which the Löneiß had been free since 1513 and that of Schlammersdorf from 1592 . The hammer was driven by the water of the Haidenaab .

Georg Kotz acquired the Feilershammer in 1522 († 1540). Of his three sons, Balthasar Kotz officiated as judge in Pressath in 1585 , Jörg took over the Feilershammer and Hans Kotz , born in 1526, ran the Zintlhammer in 1551 . Martin Löw appears in 1578 as guardian of Jörg Kotzen's ward blessedly left behind at Feilershammer . In 1596 Sebastian Kotz , who already owned Sassenreuth , also took over the Feilershammer. Sebastian Kotz died in 1622 . In 1623 his son Hans Kotz appeared as " Schin and tin hammer master for Feilershammer and Zintlhammer ". Hans Kotz died in 1648 at the end of the Thirty Years' War . The family estates were dispersed by the division of inheritance in 1650. The daughter Elisabeth Kotzin married Hans Schreyer, a citizen of Pressath, and received the Feilershammer, which she sold to the Imperial Hartschier Georg Rambler from Vienna after two years .

At the beginning of the 17th century, the " Feylerßhammer with tax and jurisdiction in the Speinhart Abbey " belongs . Around 1621 the hammer at Feilershammer was described as no longer viable, and iron production at the Feilershammer was still suspended in 1734. In 1752 Abbot Lieblein from Speinshart Monastery acquires the Feilershammer, whereby the letter of purchase says: " Hammergut to the so-called Failershammer, which consists of 1 hammer, residential house, cutting, building yard and mill and is subject to the Speinhart monastery with laudemial and other lower court juribus ".

Through the secularization of 1803 the property came back into secular possession. It was Mathias Maier owner of Feiler hammer, he died in 1827 as Inwohner to Zintlhammer. In 1820, a mirror glass polish was also set up here. Around 1847 there was already an iron hammer with three hammers and a blast furnace, a small grinding mill, a saw, a wool spinning mill and a glass ribbon next to each other on the Feilershammer estate. In 1824 Feilershammer is referred to as belonging to the municipality of Feilersdorf, in 1841 it falls into the territory of the Eschenbach district court . On January 1, 1975, Feilersdorf was incorporated into Trabitz. Today the Feilershammer estate is owned by Josef Sollfrank , who runs an agricultural business here.
