Economy and Infrastructure
Big firms in Klingenberg are the WIKA manometer factory, the ceramic manufacturer Klingenberg Dekoramik in Trennfurt and the lacquer manufacturer Hemmelrath in Röllfeld. Besides industry, tourism is an important field. Klingenberg clay, which among other things is needed in the pencil industry as a graphite additive, is still quarried today as it has been since days of yore, albeit not in such great quantities as it was then. The town lies on the Route der Industriekultur Rhein-Main (“Rhine-Main Route of Industrial Culture”).

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
