Tips

Hilbertshammer, picturesquely located on Leyerbach, is reminiscent of a witch's house. Up until a few years ago, apprentices were trained here. Today, the two waterwheels only drive the hammer shaft and the bellows of the blacksmiths for blacksmith demonstrations.
The structure of the hammer has not changed since 1726. Refining steel was manufactured here until 1943. Karl Grimm was one of the last specialists who knew how to manufacture refining steel with the power of the water wheel. Today the hammer belongs to the neighboring stainless steel plant Gustav Grimm GmbH & Co. KG.

Historical impressions of the smiths / hammers in the Bergisches Land.
Until recently, the forge was cared for by volunteers and opened for events.
