 In the late 19th century, diamond processing (cutting and polishing) grew into a particularly important branch of industry, which can be traced back mainly to a Steinbach native, Isidor Trifuß.This industry rooted itself not only in Steinbach, but also in several neighbouring villages as well.After Trifuß had founded a diamond-cutting workshop at the "Neumühle" (“New Mill”) between Brücken and Ohmbach in 1888, by and by competing businesses sprang up in Brücken itself, and in neighbouring villages.
