Geographical

In 1963, the Preußische Bergwerks- und Hütten AG came across a thermal brine with a high content of iodine during an oil and natural gas well at a depth of 3790 meters . During the almost ten-year scientific investigation of the brine, the drill rods corroded, so that in 1973 the borehole had to be filled in. The project for a spa in Stein was finally abandoned in 1981 for economic reasons.
