Economy and Infrastructure
In the past, Högl sandstone was mined at Högl . In its heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries, the stone was used in numerous sacred and secular buildings in the nearby city of Salzburg (e.g. Erhard Church and Salzburg Residence ). In addition, door frames and window frames were made of Högler sandstone in the rural area. At the beginning of the 20th century, the mining came to a standstill. A restored sandstone quarry can be seen in the community of Ainring near the Ulrichshögl rifle house.
