The Old Hammer in Oberrödinghausen was mentioned in a document as early as 1751. It was founded by Max Theodor von Dücker and belonged to the “Rödinghauser Eisenfabrique”. The main items manufactured were grate bars and plowshares. The Rheinisch-Westfälische Kalkwerke AG used the hammer until it was shut down in 1955, most recently as a forge. The fountain, designed by artist Herbert Prause, moved from the paper factory to the Old Hammer in late autumn 2022.

This sculpture used to be located at the now closed paper factory. It has now found a new home at the pond that belongs to the Old Hammer in Oberrödinghausen.
