    One of the 5 known lime quarries in Rehefeld was not far from here and was in operation until around 1900. Lime was now used as artificial fertilizer, so that the laborious underground mining had become unprofitable. What remains are considerable expanses under the Giesshübel mountain behind a barred entrance. Not far from the lime mine, a small deposit of hard coal was also discovered in 1836 and mined from 1848 to 1875. However, this coal was of very low quality, so mining was stopped again.
