Steinbruch Donnerkuhle, Limestone quarry in Hagen, Germany.
The Donnerkuhle quarry extends across 67 hectares, featuring exposed limestone formations that reach depths of 600 meters below the surface.
Mining operations at Donnerkuhle began in the early 1900s, transforming the region into a center for limestone extraction and industrial development.
The quarry functions as an educational site where visitors learn about geological processes through designated observation points and mineral collection areas.
Two observation platforms with information panels provide clear views of the mining operations, while a dedicated area allows visitors to search for fossils.
The quarry walls reveal 370-million-year-old Middle Devonian reef limestone formations, modified by magnesium-rich solutions rising through the Ennepe fault.
