It is a sandstone formation from the Rotliegend, the last phase of the Earth's ancient history from 296 - 251 million years ago. Sandstone forms from sediment layers at the bottom of rivers, which solidify under high pressure and over a long period. Sandstone formations differ by inclusions, e.g. iron veins. Sandstone without marl inclusions was sought after as a very stable building material.
