The Dorfchemnitz iron hammer mill was originally set up to smelt ore and was later used for iron processing, casting and forging until well into the last century. This hammer mill, which is still powered by water today, is a valuable testimony to centuries of mining in the Ore Mountains.

Tours with a one-hour guided tour take place in the Iron Hammer Museum from May to October, Thursday to Sunday, 1 to 4 pm.

Show forging in the iron hammer:

German Mill Day on Whit Monday
Hammerfest (festival of the associations) on the 2nd weekend in July
