      The granite mountains of Königshain were probably the reason for the quarrying of the rock as early as the 16th century, since the cleavage was favorable here and the stones were relatively easy to break. From 1844 stone quarrying increased massively, so that the entire area of the mountains was covered by a large number of quarries and stone quarrying killed most of the interesting rock formations. The last quarry was not closed until 1975 and only the local open-air museum reminds of the work.
