Grillenburg Sandstone (German: Grillenburger Sandstein) and Niederschöna Sandstone (Niederschönaer Sandstein) belong to the Elbe Sandstones of central Europe. There used to be a number of sandstone quarries in the Tharandt Forest and its neighbourhood, not far from Höckendorf (Paulsdorf Heath) and Ruppendorf, near Grillenburg, Niederschöna and Hetzdorf in the state of Saxony. These Cretaceous sandstones emerged in the Cenomanian and Turonian ages. The aforementioned quarries have long since closed.
