Thanked: 1230
A look to the ancient open quarry:
The inscription on the plate says:
Whetstonequarry
This whetstone quarry was in operation until 1930. The here mined whetstones were exported in the middle ages up to Spain.
The quarry was known already in the 5th to 1th century B.C. - as documented by findings in the ancient celtic settlement on the “Kleinen Gleichberg” near Römhild.
