In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a glass, grinding and polishing factory in the Gebhardsreutherschleife, which was rebuilt in 1749 by Leonhard Anton von Voit after Austrian hussars and French troops had destroyed it in 1742. In 1818, 30 employees worked in the Gebhardsreuther loop.

In 1870, around 100,000 customs glasses from the Karlsbacherhütte in Bohemia were processed on 144 blocks and 24 water stands. With progressive industrialization, the glass loops lost more and more importance around the turn of the century and had to be abandoned.
