It is the only preserved mill for manganese ore (brownstone) in Europe and thus a reflection of the industrial history of the Thuringian Forest. Manganese ore is mainly used in the steel industry as well as in glass and ceramic production. Ore was mined in this area from the mid-17th century until 1949. The mill itself was in operation until 1982.
