As early as the 19th century, roofing slate was being mined on a large scale in Weisel. Shaft construction was carried out at the Kreuzberg mine. The Kreuzberg mine was the last slate mine on the Middle Rhine. It was closed at the end of November 1980. The headframe was put down and the shaft closed. Today the pit serves as a drinking water reservoir for the neighboring communities of Wollmigart and Ransel.
A residential building and various farm buildings still exist on the site of the Kreuzberg mine.
