Minerals found during construction of the railway tunnel at Rollenberg hill in 1984-1988.

Stratabound realgar and orpiment coatings on narrow fissures in dolomite of the "Unterer Lettenkeuper" and vein-like baryte-galena mineralisations, related to faults and karst, in limestone "Oberster Muschelkalk".
Genetically, there are parallels to the Wiesloch Pb-Zn deposits.
