The older generation of locals still knows the significance of the old buildings here.
On the Grosser Gleichberg in southern Thuringia, a former volcano, the Römhild quarry was located from 1901 to 1968, of which the ruins of the crushing plant still stand.

The stones were used to build paved highways, then known as artificial roads, and cobblestone roads, but also for building. Basalt from the quarries on the Großer Gleichberg can still be found on cobblestone roads all over Germany today.
