The Neuhammer is located outside the ring wall on the other side of Grünthaler Strasse. It was built in 1586/87 as a replacement for the Kleiner Hammer, which had been converted into a brewery. Three hammers worked in it, which were driven by a water wheel with a diameter of 4.28 fathoms (approx. 8.50 m) via an oak shaft using cams. Another water wheel drove the bellows of the forge fire via a rod.
The hammers were mainly used for forging kettles, bowls and small sheets of metal.
