history
The area of the ground monument Schlade Grubenfeld owes its present appearance to the earlier mining and the extraction of limestone in the quarries . The traces of mining through the Prinz Wilhelm mine are difficult to see because they were affected by the later quarry work. The exception to this is the pinge of the Moll tunnel, which has been broken and extends to the street.
