History
In 1764 Carl von Ulm zu Erbach take care by Decretum für das Amt Beeder
Herrschaften Werenwag und Callenberg for the Poor.[3] Contributing Textile
production. [4] [5] Württemberg planted an alley of fruit trees. (dienstbarkeit).
The tree farms of Wilhelm and the Brüdergemeinde provided free fruit.[6] In 1863
those fruits included Luiken, Winterlinge, Fleiner, Knausbirnen, Bratbirnen,
Glöcklesbirnen, Fäßlesbirnen, Grunbirnen, Lederäpfel, Breitlinge, Goldparmäne,
Rosenäpfel, Zuckerbirnen and Bergamottbirnen. [7]

In 1941, there was a protest against the Nazi Party in Geislingen.[8] [9] In 1990
Erlaheim a fruit tree arboretum was created.[10]

Mining
Sand, sandstone, limestone, gagat, and iron ore were the primary products.[7] The
Goldhöhle mine was in Erlaheim near Mildersbach, Schwefelkies, in Geislingen. It
later collapsed.[11][12] Binsdorf, had a natural stone quarry. The information
panels near the Goldhöhle sponsored by the Kreissparkasse. An old story talks about
the Sandmann, a hawker for cleaning sand. The idea was born at the Schwäbischer
Albverein in Binsdorf. From a 3.5 km mine in Doggererzflöz in Weilheim is wood in
the Tuttlinger Fruchtkasten.[13][clarification needed] Steel was produced in
Tuttlingen by the Schwäbische Hüttenwerke in Ludwigshal.

The refinery in Harras was closed in 1832.[14] 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.[15][16] Near Geislingen, black stone (coal) was mined for
Operation Desert (German fuel project) on the road to Erzingen.[17][18] Geislingen
was also a center for gagat manufacturing. Gagat is broken in Posidonia Shale.[19]
