On August 25, 1725, Baroness von Löwendal commissioned the first blast furnace and an iron hammer in the ironworks yard. This was because large quantities of turf ironstone, i.e. smeltable ore, were found on the surface in the wetlands around what is now Lauchhammer. This heralded the industrialization of the region. The “Hammer im Lauch” - this is how the present-day town got its name. After the baroness's death, her godson, the art-loving Count Detlef Carl von Einsiedel (1737-1810), inherited the entire estate and expanded the company to include iron casting. Next door, you can take a look into the courtyard of the former ironworks. There are busts of the Baroness von Löwendal, her heir and his son Detlev Count von Einsiedel (1773-1861).
