Steinbruch am Langen Köchel im Murnauer Moor, Quarry and geotope in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany.
The Steinbruch am Langen Köchel extends over 1000 meters in length and 200 meters in width, reaching an elevation of 717 meters above sea level.
Founded in 1927 and operational from 1930 to 2000, this quarry supplied railway and road gravel throughout Southern Bavaria, producing 750,000 tons annually during the 1940s.
The site represents a significant example of industrial heritage in Bavaria, with its former mining operations now transformed into an educational geological destination.
The quarry pit has filled with water to form Langer-Köchel-See, which receives water through groundwater seepage and precipitation at 628 meters above sea level.
The location contains the most substantial exposure of Helvetian Cretaceous rocks in the Bavarian Oberland, featuring calcite-healed fissures with mineral deposits.
