Name(s) in local language(s): Granulitaufschluss, Waldheim, Döbeln, Sachsen, Deutschland
Located about 10 km SW of Döbeln.
Prismatine from this locality was considered as kornerupine for a long time, before it was eventually recognised as a new mineral. Older specimens, therefore, may still be labelled as kornerupine. The latter, however, does not occur here.
