Tips

Tibor🥾🌿☀️

December 19, 2021

Without the extraction of raw materials in quarries, most of the evidence of the history of the earth and life in the Baden-Württemberg Franconia would never have been discovered.

In order to promote science and research in the field of paleontology in our region, we founded the Alberti Foundation with our plants in Ummenhofen and Wilhelmsglück together with 18 other shell limestone plants on April 17th, 1998. With the income from the foundation's capital, the Alberti Foundation supports individual projects and awards the Alberti Prize every two years.

A board member of the Alberti Foundation, collector and private paleontologist, Dr. Hans Hagdorn, in connection with the city of Ingelfingen, brought the Muschelkalkmuseum into being and thus created a permanent exhibition on the earth and life history of the Triassic period in Central Europe. It's worth a visit.
