The Nastberg (formerly Nast-Berg ), sometimes also called Naßberg , is a cinder cone - volcano in Andernach- Eich . It is located in the eastern part of the natural sub- unit Laacher Kuppenland and thus in the natural sub-unit Laacher Volcanoes, which belongs to the natural main unit of the Lower Middle Rhine Region. The volcano is only partially preserved today. The outbreak centers and the eastern rampart area are missing.
Emergence
Around 225,000 years ago, rising magma met water and a water vapor explosion, a phreatomagmatic eruption, occurred . This “explosive maar phase” created a maar volcano with a tuff ring . Later there was an igneous eruption . Magma rose unhindered to the surface of the earth and lava fountains formed the first cinder cone. After a period of rest, magma rose again, but not in the previous crater area. An explosive eruption occurred along a newly created crevice ; the older layers were raised and parts of the old cinder wall broke off and toppled to one side. This process can be traced today in the north pit, where the remains are. Another igneous eruption with lava fragments and lava fountains followed and left behind the mighty cinder wall of what is now the southern pit. Then three smaller lateral cinder cones formed on the south-western flank of the volcano, probably because the main chimney was blocked. At this point or at a later point in time, the northeastern flank of the Nastberg slipped and plunged into the crater.
Quarrying
The cinder cone was exploited in several places in the 20th century for the extraction of building material. A large number of houses in Andernach-Eich are built with the Krotzen .
Nastberg today
The volcano is only partially preserved today. The outbreak centers and the eastern rampart area are missing. Two pits, the north and south pit, provide a glimpse into the history of the volcano's origins.
The Nastberg is a nature reserve and a landscape monument in the volcano park in the Mayen-Koblenz district of VULKANPARK GmbH. A footpath, on which about 50 meters of altitude has to be overcome, leads along information boards up to the summit with the summit cross . From the summit plateau ( 317.4 m above sea level ) the view extends over the Neuwied basin to the Westerwald and Hunsrück .
