St. Johannes Evangelist

Thür

The Catholic parish church of St. Johannes Evangelist was built in 1867/68 by August Rincklage and Caspar Clemens Pickel according to plans drawn up in 1855 by the Cologne cathedral builder Friedrich von Schmidt.

It is a basalt rubble basilica in the form of doctrinal neo-Gothic (Dehio, Rhineland-Palatinate, 1984, p. 1017).
On May 6, 1867, the foundation stone was laid by Dechant Stadelmayer from Mayen.
The tower of the old church, built in the Romanesque style, was preserved, but it was only raised to match the new church.

Schwarze Wand

The section of a cinder volcano shows the viewer the entire range of the tephra that was once ejected during the eruption, the entirety of the volcanic loose masses.

Kaiserhalle Burgbrohl

The special reason for building the Kaiserhalle in this form as a self-supporting domed hall was the need for the builder Wilhelm Bell to provide evidence that local building materials such as lime, lava sand and trass can also be used for extreme loads. At a time before the turn of the century, when cement had started its triumphal march and the mining of the tram in the Brohl valley continued to decline, such proof seemed necessary.

Tuffsteinzentrum Weibern

If you would like to learn more about tuff, you can find out more about this rock and its possible uses here in the "Weiberner Schaufenster" on the left. The path up to the right also takes you in just a few minutes to the open-air exhibition at the stone saw house, where, among other things, a stone saw and a crane clearly illustrate the work processes involved in the tuff stone. The tourist information offers regular guided tours to the impressive Weiberner tuff quarries and - like the local stone cutters' association - organizes hands-on stone hammering courses, in which individual works of art are created from volcanic rock.

Parkplatz Erntekreuz

Start of the 280 km long "German Volcano Road", which leads to the 39 highlights in the world of the Eifel volcanoes. Hard to imagine what happened here almost 13,000 years ago. In the gently rolling landscape, the roof of a volcanic focus that had formed underground suddenly bursts open. A massive explosion shakes the area, caused by the underground contact of hot gases and groundwater. The volcano throws out huge amounts of ash and pumice.
