Due to the Third Reich's pursuit of autarky, iron ore was mined at Schönberg starting in 1935.
Mining took place primarily in two fields: the northern field, mined from the Freiburg district of Sankt Georgen, and to a lesser extent, the southern field located in the Ebringen district. The ore from the southern field was transported to the loading point in Sankt Georgen via a cable car. Mining in the southern field ceased in 1942.

Here you can see the remains of a foundation for a support pillar of this cable car.
