Eisenhammer Hasloch

Eisenhammer Hasloch is a historical blacksmith workshop with two large water-powered hammers that shape iron pieces. The machines weigh approximately 170 kg and 135 kg and are driven by water power.

The workshop was founded in 1779 when the Counts of Löwenstein-Wertheim granted the Wenzel brothers permission to establish it. The facility shows how iron processing was conducted in this area for many years.

The workshop shows traditional blacksmithing methods that were once common throughout the region. Visitors can watch how craftspeople worked using these older techniques.

The facility is open from March through October on Wednesday to Sunday, with reduced hours in November and winter operations from December through February. Plan your visit according to the seasonal operating schedules.

The workshop produced around 40,000 to 50,000 plowshares each year using water power to drive the heavy hammers. This production volume shows how important the facility was to the regional economy.
