The Donnerkuhle quarry in Hagen is known for its long history of mining dolomitic limestone, which has been in operation since the beginning of the 20th century. This limestone comes from an extensive mass limestone deposit, which is characterized by a thickness of up to 600 meters and is around 370 million years old, from the Upper Middle Devonian period. Over time, the original limestone was partially transformed into dolomite stone through the action of water containing magnesium. This process of dolomitization makes the Donnerkuhle a unique raw material deposit in Germany.
