Until a few years ago, Ruhr sandstone was mined in the Böllberg quarry to produce floor panels or facade panels, for example. The old factory building originally belonged to the Neuwuelflingsburg colliery, which worked here until 1967. In the walls of the quarry, primeval tree trunk remains up to 2m long were occasionally recovered during mining. They are remnants of a former forest bog landscape that existed during the Upper Carboniferous (320 to 296 million years before today).

Vandring

The quarry is currently inaccessible, but there is a viewpoint to the north that offers a view of the quarry. It is only accessible on foot via forest paths and is really worth it !!!

Vandring

The Neuwuelflingsburg colliery, which worked here until 1967, was formerly located on the quarry site. In addition to sandstone, layers of mudstone and a coal seam about 30 cm thick can also be seen in the quarry. The layers of rock belong to the Sprockhövel Formation and were deposited more than 300 million years ago. From time to time, the remains of tree trunks (lepidophytes) up to 2 m long are uncovered on fresh quarry walls as a result of quarrying. They are silent contemporary witnesses of a former forest moor landscape that existed during the Upper Carboniferous.
