Tips

The Teufelsstein is a relic rock from the former chalk cover. The sandy chalk sediments were in places bound pebbly. This resulted in very hard quartz sandstones that withstood weathering much better than the surrounding and underlying rocks. After all, they were preserved as individual blocks on much older rocks (here Dogger). Many Kallmünzer blocks were still relocated in the Quaternary by solifluction.

Until 25 years ago there were still numerous Kallmünzer blocks on the Kreuzberg. In the meantime, however, the smaller specimens in particular have been brought to the gardens in the area.

The Teufelsstein lies on a continuous limonite sandstone bench. It is a solid, iron-shaped rock seam of reddish color. The package of fine-grain Dogger sands that is about 60 m thick on the Kreuzberg.
