As Kadrich (also Katerich or Kaarech) grinding channels for the transport of wood from the hinterland down into the Rhine valley were called. On the lower slopes of the Kadrich, viticulture and fruit growing continued into the 20th century, and coppice forest was used on the less steep slopes in order to gain stakes for viticulture and oak trees for tannery . The open quarries in which quartzite was extracted have clearly shaped the landscape.
