"Feldspar, quartz, and mica, I'll never forget those three," a schoolmaster once rhymed to help his students memorize the components of this plutonic rock. From the mid-19th century onward, granite had become a building material with steadily increasing demand. Building construction required bricks, window and door frames, steps and landings; road construction required paving stones and curbs; and railways required ballast and stones for bridge construction. Granite covers an area of 4,600 km² in Lusatia alone. This is the reason why countless quarries emerged between Kamenz and the Königshainer Hills. The area around the Klosterberg between Demitz-Thumitz and Schmölln quickly developed into the most important and largest mining area in Saxony. The steadily increasing demand for granite products led to the development of many quarries. These, in turn, attracted workers who settled in the villages surrounding the Klosterberg. In the 100 years between 1850 and 1950, the population of Demitz-Thumitz increased nearly tenfold. Source: https://www.demitz-thumitz.de/
