    Basalt was mined from the 19th century on the Bennauer Kopf (formerly called Steimelskopf) to the west of the town. After the construction of the railway line from Hennef to Asbach built by the Bröltalbahn in 1892, the Bennauer quarry was the largest in the Asbacher Land. The “Bennau-Thal” train station and a basalt loading station were set up below the village. From 1912 onwards, the basalt from the quarry in Hinterplag was also loaded here and transported to the loading station via a 1.2 km long cable car.
