Mühlsteinbruch Hinterhör, Historical quarry in Neubeuern, Germany.

Mühlsteinbruch Hinterhör is an old sandstone quarry in the Bavarian Alps that was worked to produce grinding stones. The steep walls display clear extraction marks and sit at roughly 500 meters (1,640 feet) above sea level.

From the 1500s through the 1800s, workers quarried sandstone from this site to supply the local milling industry. The stone came from the Helvetic region and shows a long tradition of manual stone extraction in the area.

The site shows the craftsmanship that once went into making millstones for grinding grain. You can see work marks on the walls that reveal how people approached stone extraction as a skilled trade.

Visitors need to ask permission from the property owner before entering, as this is private land. Information boards on site explain the geological features and the methods that were used to extract stone.

The quarry holds the designation as Bavaria's geotope number 52 due to its special geological makeup. This recognition honors both the scientific value and the visible traces of the work that took place here.
