    Around 1600 the name for a quarry appeared in
    nearby. When building a forest house in 1839
    Rock discovered that contained good building material. Afterwards the
    Quarry built, which was operated until 1912 and
    Delivered building material for Nuremberg and Erlangen. From 1866
    there was also a commercial enterprise, which expanded over the course of
    developed into a popular excursion destination in the area over the years. After the end of World War II, the area was taken over by the American military and the inn was blown up. Only the old sandstone cellar remains.
