This part of the Bosenberg is called Bruchwald because there were several hard stone quarries here. The quarry, through which the Tiefenbachpfad leads, belonged to today's forest owners of the "Urweiler Erben". The first known lease dates from the middle of the 19th century. Stones were broken here until 1975. Loosening the stones from the rock layers was the job of the stone carvers. Up until the 20th century, this was extremely strenuous and dangerous work that was only done with the help of a riving knife, hammer and black powder. Day laborers and farmers from Urweiler were hired as unskilled workers, who supplemented their income through transport work from spring to autumn. In winter it was not possible to work in the quarry due to snow, ice and the risk of slipping. Source: Text information board
