There are 4 photos available for volcanoes in Germany.

An aerial view from the NW provides an overview of three lake-filled maars, the Gemunden maar in the foreground, and the Weinfeld and Schalkenmehren maars at the left center. Explosive eruptions through nonvolcanic bedrock during the late Pleistocene formed craters with low rims of volcanic ejecta. The West Eifel volcanic field of western Germany contains about 240 scoria cones and maars.

The roughly 500-m-wide crater was formed during the late Pleistocene by explosions through non-volcanic bedrock. About 230 eruptions during the past 730,000 years formed a 600 km² area that includes maars, scoria cones, and small stratovolcanoes.

The village of Mehrener is located on the shore of a lake partially filling the crater, whose rim lies behind the village. Maars, scoria cones, and small stratovolcanoes cover an area of 600 km², W of the Rhine River. Most of the volcanic features formed during eruptions between about 730,000 and 10,000 years ago.

Photo by Richard Waitt, 1990 (U.S. Geological Survey). The Schalkenmehren maar is one of about 240 volcanic vents forming the West Eifel volcanic field in western Germany. The crater, now partially occupied by a lake, farmland, and the town of Schalkenhren, was formed by explosive eruptions through nonvolcanic bedrock that created a low, 1-km-wide crater rim of volcanic ejecta.
