   I’m 99% sure I found the quarry. The company is called Franken-Schotter GmbH & Co., and it’s located about 40 km almost directly south of Nuremberg. The nearest town and mailing address is Treuchtlingen, and the town of Langenaltheim just to the south is also visible in some of the aerial photography on the show (as well as a couple of windmill generators). The coordinates of the entrance to the quarry from the regional road are 48°55’25.55″N, 10°55’1.30″E.

   Unfortunately the newest imagery Google Earth has of the area is from 2007 or 2008, but if you pause the episode at 58m06s, this aerial view seems to be looking almost straight southwest, and Langenaltheim appears in the upper left corner of the image. It looks a little different on Google Earth as they’ve obviously done more excavation in the last 8 or 9 years, but the overall shape is the same. I think this is it.
