The traditional steelworks was closed in 2002. In its heyday, 9,000 people worked here in steel production. The Maxhütte was the last steelworks in Bavaria with a conventional blast furnace, and at the same time the last Bavarian company in which co-determination was in force. The Maxhütte became known nationwide due to the decades-long struggle of the workforce for their jobs. The Maxhütte is now being preserved as an industrial monument. It is probably the most important relic of ore mining and steel production in the Upper Palatinate. The Ore Trail passes by here.
