The Drachenfels was created by rising magma, which could not break through to the surface of the earth, but solidified beneath it like a dome; Volcanologists call this the head of the spring. Quarries (quartz trachyte) on the Drachenfels are documented as early as Roman times. Especially in the Middle Ages, the Drachenfels trachyte was a widely used building block downstream from the Rhine. B. in the construction of Cologne Cathedral.
