An active quarry in lime marl, operated by the company "Südbayerisches Portlandzementwerk Gebrüder Wiesböck & Co GmbH".
Located on Maggeswand mountain near Fischbach.

NOTE: The book by Weiß lists this quarry as "Maggeswand" and as located near Brannenburg. This is technically correct, since Brannenburg is one of several towns in the vicinity, though not the nearest. Administratively, the quarry is located within the municipality of Flintsbach am Inn, which is also the nearest town.
