History
Around 1300, iron ore began to be mined in the area. Between 1357 and 1409, the first hammer mill was established on the territory of today's municipality. In the middle of the 15th century, four hammer mills were documented here. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, the importance of the hammer mills declined and they were abolished or converted into watermills.
