Heusenstamm - Quartz sand and gravel have been mined in the forest on Martinsee since 2002. The sand is needed by the Braas company for the production of roof tiles.
In this context, it is contractually regulated and a planning approval decision stipulates that the lake that has been created there must be gradually filled again and the area recultivated.
