Mining

Since the 1930s there has been a smelter here again, which processed the copper slate and barite. The factory site is now owned by a company that emerged from this smelting operation and which until the very recent past produced pigments for color production here.

The medieval Tannenberg Castle stands on a mountain spur ( 351 m ) about 900 m north-northwest of the Herzberg summit .
