After the elevation of the town, Holzappel experienced a significant economic boom through trade, handicrafts and mining, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. The high-yield lead, silver and zinc mine ("Grube Holzappel") contributed to this.

Beautifully designed memorial to the local mining of the Holzappel mine. Here was the entrance to the Herminenstollen. The Holzappel pit was operated from 1751-1952.
In addition, a history trail begins here for hikers.
Attention: "The Laurenburg is closed until further notice ..."
