History

Württemberg planted an alley of fruit trees. (dienstbarkeit). The tree farms of Wilhelm and the Brüdergemeinde provided free fruit.[2] In 1863 those fruits included Luiken, Winterlinge, Fleiner, Knausbirnen, Bratbirnen, Glöcklesbirnen, Fäßlesbirnen, Grunbirnen, Lederäpfel, Breitlinge, Goldparmäne, Rosenäpfel, Zuckerbirnen and Bergamottbirnen [3]

In 1941, there was a protest against the Nazi Party in Geislingen.[4] [5] In 1990 Erlaheim a fruit tree arboretum was created[6]

Mining

Sand, sandstone, limestone, gagat, and iron ore were the primary products.[3] The Goldhöhle mine was in Erlaheim near Mildersbach, Schwefelkies, in Geislingen. It later collapsed.[7][8] Binsdorf, had a natural stone quarry. From a 3.5 km mine in Doggererzflöz in Weilheim is wood in the Tuttlinger Fruchtkasten.[9] Steel was produced in Tuttlingen by the Schwäbische Hüttenwerke in Ludwigshal.

The refinery in Harras was closed in 1832.[10] The long, tedious transport with horses limited the amount of income from pyrite mining in Erlaheim. Economic reforms that allowed the construction of new railways made mining the iron ore of that area unprofitable.[11][12] Near Geislingen, black stone (coal) was mined for Operation Desert (German fuel project) on the road to Erzingen.[13][14] Geislingen was also a center for gagat manufacturing. Gagat is broken in Posidonia Shale.[15] [16][17]
