From 1942 onwards, the Hadermannsgrün quarry, owned by Johann Spörl KG, produced high-quality building materials such as fine gravel from the volcanic raw material diabase. Due to the poor market situation, mining was discontinued in 2007. In 2024, demolition excavators also razed the 30-meter-high crushing and classification plant of the hard stone works, with its twelve large reinforced concrete silos.
Now, the site is being returned to nature.
