Explore the landscape and living world 250 million years ago. The rocks found near Korbach are the geological memory of this ancient landscape. Find out how they were formed and what they tell us about times gone by in the outdoor area of the limestone tower and

learn about one of the oldest industries in the world: the extraction and processing of limestone. The exhibition on the first floor of the limestone tower shows how the industrial use of limestone began here in the quarry over 100 years ago.

Would you like to know how vertebrates managed to colonize the entire earth under water, on land and in the air? Or why orchids grow around Korbach? Then visit our exhibition on the top floor of the limestone tower.

visit the oldest Korbachian: Procynosuchus, the "Korbach dachshund", is of course not a dog, but a mammal-like reptile - one of our oldest ancestors, so to speak. You can find out how the Korbach fissure and its fossil content were formed in the information pavilion in the quarry.
