The hammer mill established at the beginning of the 18th century reached at the end of the 18th century in the possession of the family Rexroth under whose guidance the company came to the full blossom. The squires showed a high social engagement which was reflected in the reimbursement of the workers, but also in the enlargement of the entrance ways. In specially constructed schools up to 30 children were teaches on the hammer mill property. On one, from oaks surrounded cemetery the late squires and their members were buried. In 1891 the company was discontinued and the hammer mill was converted into a court estate. From the industrial monument all buildings except the great smithy are even today in a very good state.

Chr. wirtschaftlich genutzt wurde, somit ist das Gebiet derzeit der Älteste bekannte Abbau von Eisenstein in Westfalen. Die Bergleute bedienten sich den natürlichen Hohlräumen, erweiterten sie und nutzten sie als Transportwege. Übertage zeugen auch heute noch Schachtöffnungen, Stollenmundlöcher und Halden vom damaligen Bergbaugeschehen.

Man kann sicherlich einen Gehalt von 70 Massenprozent Eisen als - fuer natuerlich vorkommende Erze unerreichbare - Obergrenze als gegeben ansehen. Dies beantwortet natuerlich nicht die Frage nach dem durchschnittlichen Eisengehalt des Hemeraner Erzes und ersetzt auch keine Analysen.

Man muss aber annehmen, dass die typische, ... Ein Beitrag von René Gervers und Wilhelm W.

REE belong to the most important raw materials of the 21st century, which are used in a large number of key technologies. However, due to the fact that almost 97% of the world's REE are mined and produced in China, REE have become an ongoing political issue, mainly amongst technology providing countries like the US, Japan and Western Europe.

This portrait tries to explain the characteristics of REE and their role for our modern world. Written and investigated by Peter Seroka. (Article in german)
