Schevenhütte Quarry, Stone quarry and brownfield site in Schevenhütte, Germany.

The quarry reveals exposed rock formations from the Ordovician period, displaying both greenish and red natural stone varieties at the northern edge of Eifel.

Operating from medieval times until 2008, the quarry became significant during the 20th century under the name Kaspar Müller I Quarry.

During World War II, the quarry area witnessed interactions between American soldiers and German civilians when the 9th Infantry Division occupied Schevenhütte.

Access to the quarry remains restricted due to safety concerns, including unstable rock conditions and the presence of an uncontrolled water basin.

The straight downward dip of the Schevenhütte strata made the stone particularly suitable for mining and regional construction applications.
