Wolsberge, Mountain summit in Siegburg, Germany

The Wolsberge consists of two distinct peaks, with Riemberg reaching 120 meters and Wolsberg extending to 110 meters above sea level.

Dating back 25 million years to the Tertiary period, these mountains formed through volcanic activity, resulting in basaltic tuff cone formations.

The stone from Wolsberge provided construction material for medieval buildings in Siegburg, including the Michaelsberg Abbey and Servatiuskirche.

Since 1906, quarrying activities have ceased on the mountains, leaving visible traces of centuries of stone extraction on the landscape.

A particular rock formation called 'faule Ei' remains standing along Wahnbachtalstrasse, preserved because its composition made it unsuitable for construction.
