That the Hegau mountains with their volcanic origin so distinctive from the landscape
Many citizens think of classic volcanoes as they can be seen from other parts of the world
Earth knows: A steep mountain juts out of the ground and lava spits out of the earth's interior
out. But the Hegau cones never actually spit in this shape. They originated
completely underground and were not visible at first. In the middle of
The heyday of the Miocene, around 14 million years ago, was rumbling in today's Hegau area
very powerful. Triggers are said to have been a subsidence of the Rhine trench geologists
his. At that time, the Hegau was at the interface of two so-called fault systems.
Underground, strong volcanic activity began in the earth's crust. Huge amounts of magma, like
Lava called before it comes to the surface of the earth, were pushed up.
About a dozen volcanoes arose, but remained hidden beneath the earth's surface.
Various rock layers and types were created. Among other things, the Hegauer
Basalt, which was then mined in earlier decades of our time, such as the
at Hohenstoffeln.
For millions of years, these Hegau volcanoes remained underground. Well over 150,000
For years, a mighty layer of ice covered the Hegau. This glacier moved
and ground softer rocks from the ground. What remained were the hard cores of the
extinct volcanoes that still tower out of the ground today and the hilly Hegau
Landscape characterize, "Herrgott's bowling game", as hometown poet Ludwig Finckh called this.
