history

In 1873 a new coal mine was set up in the western part of the municipality in the Trenkelbachtal, which from 1882 was run under the name of Maybach mine . It was named after the Prussian Minister for Public Works, Albert von Maybach (1822–1904). Initially, the miners were housed in dormitories by the pit or as boarders with local families. Around 1900, the Prussian mountain treasury then built the "Auf der Maybach" settlement. In addition to simple, uniform houses for the miners, larger semi-detached houses were also built for the officials. In 1903 the settlement got its own school. Between 1908 and 1912 four sleeping houses and a wash house were built.

In 1924/25 the French administration built a neo-Romanesque Catholic church below the town's school. Two villas in Stollenstrasse were intended for the mine directors. During this time the League of Nations -Mandats consisted Maybach also Domanialschule .

As early as 1897, a coffee kitchen with a convenience store was built near the factory gate , which was expanded in 1936. In 1964 the Maybach mine was abandoned as a production site and finally shut down in 1981. In the same year Maybach was placed under monument protection as a place of industrial culture in the Saarland. The former mine site became an industrial area.
