Tips

This quarry supplied raw brick material for the Hölle brickworks located below the B446. Nowadays there is a solar field on the property. The rock stratification that is still visible today belongs to the upper red sandstone. This rock becomes plastic with increased humidity. Under the weight of the overlying limestone layer, so-called red squeezes occur in wet years. This causes a certain instability of the edge of the plateau, which extends with interruptions to about Groß Lengden to the south. The reddish color is due to disperse hematite (Fe2O3 particles up to approx. 20 μm in size).

The brickworks continued to operate until 1970.
The approx. 200-year-old chimney was demolished in 2012 to make room for a solar field.
