In July 1944 an important production area for the armaments industry of the Sindelfingen Daimler Benz plant was to be laid underground here in the quarry near Rottenburg to protect against the Allied bombing war. Inmates from the state prison were used as workers. The prison director was finally tried after the end of the war and the tunnel that had been driven into the quarry was destroyed by several explosions.
