Mining
Heinrich Hagemeier, the former director of the Heiligenmühle potash union, which has been based in Niederoechsen since 1920 , began mining basalt on the Dietrichsberg in 1924 . He had a basalt works built near Masbach and a loading platform on the Wenigentaft-Mansbach-Oechsen railway line to process and transport the recovered material . The basalt works of the Thuringian hard stone works (from 1926: Heinrich Hagemeier GmbH Masbach (Rhön) ) became the largest employer in the region after the potash works in the Werra potash district . The quarry and the factory were connected by a cable car .
Hagemeier GmbH was expropriated and nationalized in the GDR in 1951 , and the Wenigentaft-Mansbach-Oechsen railway was shut down in 1952. The basalt works near Masbach was shut down at the end of 1961, then served as an LPG stable and road maintenance depot and was largely dismantled in 1999.
The quarry is now operated by Rhönbasalt Vacha GmbH .
