Already in 1387 there was an independent iron hammer, which had to make way for the new hammer mill in 1881, which first made a name for itself as a weapon manufacturer. Over the years, however, mostly utility tools such as shovels, plowshares, hammers or other tools were manufactured. Remaining tools and utensils from ancient times can be viewed all year round in the Hammer Museum. In the vicinity of the hammer pond and the former hammer mill there is also the restaurant called "Hammerschänke". onetz.de/oberviechtach/vermischtes/restwerkzeuge-und-utensilien-aus-alter-zeit-koennen-das-ganze-jahr-ueber-im-hammermuseum-geschichte-des-ehemaligen-eisenhammers-d1157452. html
