In the open cast mine Todtmoos-Mättle huge amounts of Magnetkies (Pyrrhotite, Fe8S9) were mined. This was processed by the vitriol plant in Schwarzenbach, until the plant was closed in 1835. At this time the nickel ore was classified as waste. When new technologies were discovered to harden steel by adding nickel, this metall became valuable.
