    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.

        The Maxhütte (MH), named after the Bavarian King Maximilian II Joseph, was a traditional steelworks and is now an industrial monument in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. At its peak, the Maxhütte employed over 9,000 people. Maxhütte was the last steelworks in Bavaria with a conventional blast furnace, and at the same time the last company in Bavaria to be subject to mining co-determination. She was known nationally in the labor movement for the decades-long struggle of the workforce for their jobs. Due to the ownership participation of the Free State of Bavaria, the Maxhütte was also a political issue. After two bankruptcies, steel production finally ceased on September 24, 2002. Due to its age and because of its partly unique technical equipment, the Maxhütte has a high monument value.
