The last sucker rod pump (beam pump / so-called horsehead pump), the "Bohrung Stockstadt 38", still stands today as an industrial monument in the Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue nature reserve. And nowadays, crude oil is actually being extracted again just a few kilometers away.

In elementary school, I was proudly told about the pumps that were still running at that time - today one still stands as a museum piece on the Kühkopf.
