Unfortunately, it's now behind a fence... but poorly secured... 😉... visually, though, this relic of the past is a real eye-catcher.

The wages of the quarry workers (stone breakers and stone masons) were paid weekly or every two weeks on Saturdays. In around 1900 they received twice as much as tuff mining workers for their life-threatening, unsafe work.
In 1900 a loaf of rye bread cost 34 pfennigs and the daily wage was around 4.50 marks.
A proletariat was formed that suffered from poverty, social injustice and illness.
Only a few families were able to operate their own small basalt quarries with around 10 employees.
