The island Oberau was the location of the Gustav Fudickar "Schlafwohl" (literally: Sleepwell) upholstery and mattress factory (founded 1885) between the 60s and 70s. The Fudickar upholstery and mattress factory built the Fachbacher district "Auf der Oberau" and had patents of special spring mattresses. Today, the buildings on the island Oberau are used by various small businesses. In the forest of Fachbach fossils were found and the fauna shows many various butterflies, including very rare specimens.
