"VOLCANOES" - a thrilling journey to the Earth´s mountains of fire
From March 10 to December 10, the exhibition "Volcanoes" will be on display in Upper Bavaria at the "Lokschuppen Rosenheim" exhibition center. Visitors digitally enter a violent volcanic eruption, travel virtually to the center of the earth, and experience how people live at and with volcanoes. A number of volcanophilic geoscientists were involved in the design and concept, among them Gerhard Bohrmann and Andreas Klügel from our department. The exhibits are on loan from several European countries.

The Devil’s Wall in 3D - Contribution from the Department of Geosciences to the project "Germany´s most beautiful geotopes"
On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the German Geological Society and its successor organizations in 2023, geoscientific institutions initiated the 30 Geotope project. The project aims to show that outcrops are primary sources of information in geology and how these can be documented using modern methods. The University of Bremen is participating and, in addition to the Piesberg, now also the Devil’s Wall at Königstein was presented. After the drone measurement last year, the approximately 2,000 drone images were combined into a 3D model. The model has been available since mid-January together with an explanatory text on the formation of the Devil’s wall and a video on the platform Digital Geology – Deutschlands schönste Geotope in 3D.
