    One of the many crafts associated with iron processing in Arzberg was that of the nail smith. On March 19, 1847, master nailsmith Konrad Michael Künzel received the concession to manufacture nails. In 1905, his son Erhard Künzel commissioned Germany's first nailing machine for square-conical nails in Leupoldshammer. This machine was built in-house by an engineer specially hired from France. The company in the front G'steinigt was bought in 1907 by the porcelain manufacturer Carl Auvera. The company is still family-owned today.

        With this nailing machine, 50 nails per minute were produced in the oldest nail factory in Bavaria in 1920.
