A second volcanic eruption led to the light-colored tuff deposits.
During the third lava eruption, the "black lava band" and above it the "colorful layers" developed in intervals of eruptions and resting phases. The eruption of the Laacher See volcano 12,900 years ago added a layer of pumice on top.
