Eisenhammer Hammer Mill

Highlight • Monument

The iron hammer, built in 1770 below the Aumatalsperre, is the oldest hammer mill in East Thuringia and was in operation until 1921.
It was built by Georg Friedrich Schubert. Two giant hammers and a misshapen bellows were set in motion by water power.

April 25, 2023,Talsperre Auma🤸‍♀️

Made a detour from Gera to Auma yesterday. Swimming is possible in the dam...🥶
I would like to still be yesterday 🚣 ♀️, but everything is still closed 😔
But it was also really nice. The short detour (photo 9-12) along the Auma was well worth it, it was wildly romantic🙃
