The further history of the place corresponds to that of Steinamwasser Castle, which is also mentioned in the 12th century.

An iron hammer was probably founded at the same time as the castle . Like the nearby Staubershammer , the Eisenhammer in Lölker or the Hammer Hämmerlmühle , it was operated with water from the Flem brook , which then flows into the Pegnitz . The hammer Steinamwasser belonged u. a. the Streber family, then a Heinrich Stromer from Auerbach, a relative of the eponymous Dr. Heinrich Stromer ; Ulrich Stromer ran the hammer from 1431 to 1449.
