In the period from 1920 to 2005, up to 124 million cubic meters of sandstone were industrially mined in the "Carrière de Freyming-Merlebach". At the same time, the tailings from the earlier hard coal mining were piled up opposite the rock face to the south of the sand pit, which was partially backfilled as a result. Source: Saarland.de
