In 1857, the school community offered the owners of the quarry the rights to mine under the school garden for sale (40024-12, no. 20). According to the relevant map supplement of the BSA (40073-2, No.1560), Hahn's limestone quarry was located in the area of the school garden in Blankenstein. However, it is no longer shown on the equidistant maps newly recorded from 1870 onwards. In it you will only find Faust's limestone quarry, which was passed on to Oskar Zschalig around 1880. unkenner-bergbau.de/inhalte/spot_12_2018_Blankenstein-Nachtrag.htm

The mining of the limestone deposits in Blankenstein was resumed in the middle of the 19th century, on the one hand by the Hüfner zu Helbigsdorf, Carl Ernst Faust, and on the other hand by the estate and brewery owner Johann Adolph Hahn from Blankenstein.
