😯An impressive industrial site,
Mystically reminiscent of Gotham City at dusk or in fog...🫨
🤍Around 300 million years ago, the reef banks folded into a saddle, which shifted the valuable rock to the surface, making this region one of the most significant limestone deposits in Europe🤍.
Since 1900, limestone has been mined & refined here in the Osterholz quarry in Wuppertal-Hahnenfurth🤍,
used for high-quality quicklime products, which are essential for domestic industry🤍.
