At this point there is an oak tree with a sign indicating a former clay pit. The loam was also used as a cheap building material, especially until the post-war period, and is being rediscovered precisely for reasons of building biology. Here, however, the clay for a distillery in Lindenau was extracted.

Clay was mined here. Clay screed is used in basements, threshing floors and barns.
