Aside from a very small amount of mining towards the end of the 18th century (iron ore, quicksilver) and coal mining (about 1860), the only mining that can be mentioned is limestone and basalt quarrying. Limestone was already being quarried in the 16th century. In the 19th century, there were several lime kilns in Jettenbach. Limestone quarrying was, however, given up in 1903. At the turn of the 20th century, hard-stone quarries were being opened up. When railways were built through the Glan and Lauter valleys, transporting the stone to faraway markets became possible. Thus, several quarries opened in Jettenbach where paving stones were made. In the 1920s, some 60 quarrymen from Jettenbach worked at the nearby quarry on the Schneeweiderhof. Today, one of the Palatinate's most productive quarries lies in the Jettenbach area, on the Potschberg.
