Steinbruch Steltenberg, Limestone quarry in Hagen, Germany.
Located at the 257-meter-high Steltenberg mountain, this quarry extracts limestone and dolomite from ancient coral reef formations of the Upper Devonian period.
The site represents a geological record spanning millions of years, containing marine fossils from the Givetian age including Stringocephalus burtini and Uncites gryphus specimens.
The Hohenlimburger Kalkwerke continues the regional tradition of limestone extraction, supporting local construction industries and geological research in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors must obtain permission from Hohenlimburger Kalkwerke GmbH before accessing the quarry, which is reachable via the A46 motorway exit to Hohenlimburg.
The quarry's mineral deposits include calcite varieties, quartz crystals exceeding 20 centimeters, and karst formations filled with diverse sediments such as greensand.
