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.
