history
The first iron hammers in the Kamnitz valley and on the south-eastern slope of the Schwarzbrunnkamm were probably made in the 13th and 14th centuries, but there are no written records from this time. The water power of the Kamnitz drove several grinding mills, the stone mills.
In 1844 the Liebiegsche textile factory was founded in Swarow and one of the most important textile companies of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and later Czechoslovakia emerged . More factories were set up on the river. The construction of the road from Tannwald to Eisenbrod in the years 1864 to 1867 and the railway built between 1870 and 1875 ensured the necessary transport links for the companies. In 1870 a textile workers' strike broke out in Swarow and was bloodily suppressed. In 1907 a spinning mill was established in Mezivodí, and two brickworks were also operated.
In 1910, Ober and Unter Hammer had a total of 4,226 inhabitants, most of whom belonged to the Czech ethnic group. In 1914 the municipalities of Ober Hammer and Unter Hammer were merged to form the municipality of Hammer, which in 1926 was elevated to the status of a market town of Groß Hammer. On April 1, 1937, Groß Hammer, which had previously been parish to Držkov , received its own parish. After the Munich Agreement , Groß Hammer was incorporated into the German district of Gablonz on November 24, 1938 . As a result, the Czechs were evacuated. In 1942 the town of Großhammer (Jizera Mountains) was formed from the market towns of Groß Hammer and Haratitz, the municipality of Plaw and the district of Swarow of the dissolved town of Schumburg an der Desse . After the Second World War this was lifted again; a large part of the German-speaking population was expelled . 1947 Bohdalovice and Svárov were incorporated. Velké Hamry has been a city since 1968.
