This is from the Messel pit (Wikipedia link).
In ancient time it was a vulcanic lake.
Since 1859 it was used to mine bitumious shale which contained a high number of fossiles.
Fuel and other oil derivates were refined from it and economic use ruled until the 1970s.
There were stability issues considering the steep rim and and it was supposed to become a landfill, but protests rised.
German public network documentary here.
Finally the Hessian state bought it and transitioned it into a scientific place. It became a UNESCO worl heritage site in 1995.

Sings I find are not that cheerful, quite the opposite. Specially depressing in the fence for new ways
