The Hangelstein is a mountain 305 m above sea level located about 6 km northeast of Giessen city center. It is part of the Vorderer Vogelsberg, which lies to the northwest of the "actual" Vogelsberg, and, like the Vogelsberg itself, is of volcanic origin and therefore consists mostly of basalt. The basalt deposit, which contains small olivine inclusions, is of subvolcanic origin and is classified by Schottler as a feldspar-free limburgitic basalt. In the western part of the Hangelstein is the Felsenkanzel. This rock formation consists of horizontal columns of separated basalt and was used as a quarry in the Middle Ages.
