Tips
When the demand for sand and gravel increased sharply in the 1950s as part of the economic boom, many gravel pits were created in the Rhine plain. The first attempts to do this were made in Staffort in 1956, especially since the taxes from the users of the gravel pit were welcome income for the communities. Finally, in 1965, the Illinger company Wilhelm Sämann received approval for gravel quarrying in the Stafforter Won Gänsweide. This mining was very successful until the beginning of this century, resulting in a lake of about 15 hectares and up to 17 meters deep.
