    "... The Heyenbruch hammer is one of the few hammers on the Eschbach that is still standing today. However, it has not served its original purpose for a long time. Before 1914 it consisted of two hammer mills in which Gustav Volberg von Ehringhausen worked as a master hammer forge. After 1918 they passed into the possession of Otto Knetsch senior from Luhnshammer, who demolished one of the two hammers; his son still worked in the remaining one until the 1980s, but no longer as a hammer smith. ...

    (based on: Hämmer- und Kottenforschung in Remscheid. Edited by Günther Schmidt, Volume 5 - From Blombach to Eschbach)
