In 1864 a memorial stone with the name Dagobert engraved on it was placed next to the bush by the community. Approaching Frankweiler one notices right away the sandstone quarry, which has contributed a lot to Frankweiler's history. Generations of people found work and made a living there. The quarry was also the source of the materials for the many fountains in the village, which were used to provide water for people and cattle for a long time and are still in good condition today. Until quite recently, agriculture was the main form of occupation in Frankweiler.
Grapes are the major product grown on the slopes and hills at the foot of the mountains.
In this mild and favorable climate the grapes ripen extremely well and make excellent wines. The history of making wine in the Palatinate goes back about 1700 years. The first detailed documents on vines and wines were put together by Heinrich Adam Anlag, who recorded prices, profit, weather and related items from 1798 until 1857. Around 1930 there were 900 inhabitants in Frankweiler and 200 vintners with 137 hectares of vineyards. The high quality standard of the Frankweiler wines has remained, if not risen.
