 The volcanic eruptions in Germany were concentrated in a belt, about 600 km long, following the valley of the River Rhine, which occurred when a rift developed across Europe as the Atlantic Ocean opened. Most of the eruptions took place along major faults trending mainly from north to south or sometimes from northwest to southeast. Successive episodes of rifting were reflected in the activity that reached its climax in areas such as the Odenwald, Spessart, Taunus and Westerwald, Swabia and the Kaiserstuhl more than 15 million years ago.

 Situated 40 km south of Bonn, LaacherSee is the largest lake and the most famous volcanic formation in the Eifel massif. Its is 2.5 km in diameter and 270 m deep, and lies in the midst of a swarm of tephritic and basanitic cinder cones that rise from a plateau blanketed with thick layers of white pumice (Schmincke& Mertens 1979). Laacher See seems to be a complex ash flow caldera formed by tectonic foundering. There is no doubt about the explosions. About 11 000 years ago, in the space of perhaps little more than a week, and almost certainly less than a year, Laacher See was the site of a Plonian eruptions of over 16 km of fragments and flows of phonolitic ash and pumice that are still over 50 m thick near the vent. The debris covers many adjacent cinder cones and forms a clear indicator bed in deposits far beyond the confines of the region (Bogaard & Schmincke1984, 1985). The eruptions were generated by a phonolitic magma in a reservoir situated between 3 km and 6 km below the surface, which had probably evolved from an original basanitic magma that had already erupted the surrounding swarm of cinder cones about 270 000 years ago.
