Vichter Hut
The Vichter Hütte was a riding facility in the area of today's town of Stolberg (Rhld.) At the northern exit of the Vicht district . The Reitwerk is the "primordial cell" of the Vicht district and was located with the associated Konradshammer hammer mill at the northern exit of the village. It was probably already in operation around 1500, because old account books of the Jülich administrative district Wehrmeisterei "first mentioned an ironworks called Vichter Hütte at the beginning of the 16th century , whose master" Jan up der Hutten Vicht "sold 2500 pounds of iron to the duke of Jülich in 1529 In addition to the Momma family, Jeremias Hoesch II also acquired Momma from the neighboring Junkershammer riding company for three days in 1644 and then another six days in 1648 and the remaining shares in Momma in 1651. The Vichter became the sole owner at the beginning of the 18th century The hut was still used as a copper mill for a few decades before it finally had to be shut down and later demolished.
