Oberrödinghauser Hammer, Industrial heritage site in Menden, Germany.

The Oberrödinghauser Hammer stands on federal road B515, featuring two water wheels that operated a 70-kilogram tilt hammer and a 300-kilogram stave hammer.

Established in 1751 by Max Theodor von Dücker, this hammer mill manufactured fire grates and ploughshares until its closure in 1955.

The facility represents industrial development in Sauerland, demonstrating traditional ironworking methods through its preserved mechanical systems and architecture.

Visitors can access the site through Werkseinfahrt 3, with free parking available and a five-minute walk along Askeystraße to reach the hammer mill.

The hammer mill derives its power from the Oberrödinghausen spring, known as Hüttenspring, which feeds into a dedicated hammer pond for operations.
