At the Gerhausen marble works in Altengronau, approximately 200 employees cut and processed stones from all over the world. In 1985, the company was forced to file for bankruptcy.

The church had become far too small for the rapidly growing population in the 18th century. Thus, in 1904, under Pastor Kienzler, the approximately 500-year-old predecessor church was demolished, and a new building was planned. The foundation stone was laid on May 8, 1904. A copper time capsule is embedded deep in the foundation, to the left of the entrance under the first gallery column. The new church was consecrated on November 23 of that year. Construction proceeded quickly and smoothly – however, some construction defects, such as improperly drained rainwater, continue to trouble the congregation to this day. However, a small exception was made when the old church was demolished: There is a sacrament niche next to the door to the sacristy. This section of wall was part of the old church wall and was not demolished in 1904, but was incorporated into the new church. The niche is therefore over 500 years old.

The oldest known documented mention of Altengronau appears in a Latin document, according to which a certain Hainradus bequeathed the village of Gruona above the Gaza River (today: Jossa) to the monastery of Echternach for the salvation of his soul. The document bears the tenth year of Charlemagne's reign as its only dating feature. According to the Luxembourg historian Henri-Camille Wampach's observations on the dating of Echternach documents, Hainradus' donation was dated to the year 780. This date is now generally accepted as the first documented mention of Altengronau. In contrast, more recent research suggests that Charlemagne's reign as king began as early as 768. After Charlemagne's father, Pippin, died on September 24, 768, an assembly on October 9 elected his sons, Charles and Carloman, joint kings of the Frankish Empire; Carloman ruled the southeastern part of the empire, while Charles ruled the other part. Following this interpretation, Hainradus's deed of gift, and thus the first documented mention of Altengronau, can be dated to 777 or 778. Source: Wikipedia

Heckmühlsterg closed for renovation

The paths and (nature conservation) areas around the various footbridges over the Schondra River are impressive, relaxing spots (some with benches) and ideal for a rest. They make a hike through the Schondra Valley particularly beautiful.
