      The Peugenhammer is a former iron hammer in the Upper Palatinate town of Pleystein in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district. The factory was operated by the water of the Zottbach, from which a number of other hammer mills, mills, stamp mills and glass grinding also benefited. The listed manor house of the hammer mill has been preserved; next to it is the spanning pond for the hammer mill, which was able to supply the water wheels with stored water in the event of a water shortage.

      An iron-working hammer mill is mentioned here from the 15th to the 17th century. In 1845 the Regensburger Zeitung mentions the hammer estate owner's wife, Mad. Haberstumpf. It is known that the hammer master Johann Haberstumpf from Peugenhammer bought the Eisenhammer shell hops in 1860 and shut it down. In 1866 Josef Pieler and Peter Bergler founded a grinding plant here. In 1880 the company was sold to Alois Kupfer von Frankenreuth. From 1911 the Bayerische Spiegelglas AG from Fürth is the owner. After a turbine was installed in place of the water wheels in 1942, the delivery of electricity to OBAG began. From 1943 to 1945, locomotive parts were stored in the former grinding room. From 1948 to 1961, the Karla Drabsch company manufactured clothes here, later also ceramics and furniture. In 1959 a contract was signed to convert the building into a school campus.

      Peugenhammer (formerly Peugenrieth) belonged to the second quarter of the municipalities of the Pleystein Nursing Office in 1805. Here the hammer and another building are mentioned. In 1830 the previously independent municipality of Peugenhammer was incorporated into Miesbrunn. This has again been a district of Pleystein since January 1st, 1972. (Wikipedia)
