Former iron mine (oolitic iron ore), active from 1608 to 1939.
The former iron ore pit Wilhelm at Braunenberg hill was converted into the Tiefer Stollen tourist mine in 1987 in order to remind of the old-day miners' efforts and to maintain it as a memorial of early industrialisation in the Aalen area. It has a mining museum open for visitors, and a mine railway takes visitors deep into the mountain. The Town of Aalen, a sponsorship association, and many citizens volunteered several thousand hours of labour to put the mine into its current state. As far as possible, things were left in the original state.
