Alarm in the Eifel: Volcano threatens to erupt – Frankfurt Airport in danger!
Seismic activity beneath Lake Laach indicates a possible volcanic risk in the Eifel, which could have major impacts, including flooding.
Alarm in the Eifel: Volcano threatens to erupt – Frankfurt Airport in danger!
A look at the Eifel and Lake Laacher See shows geological developments that could affect us all. Current seismic signals indicate possible volcanic activity in this region, which is putting the population and large parts of Germany on alert. The well-known geologist Ulrich C. Schreiber has analyzed the situation and warns of a scenario that could have devastating consequences. According to his estimates, an eruption in the Eifel could trigger massive flooding and submerge Frankfurt Airport in just a few weeks. The Rhine, already at risk during floods, would be severely affected by volcanic activity.
The risk of an outbreak is particularly high in spring, when meltwater and rainwater cause water levels to rise. Schreiber also confirms that the region has unstoppable geological activity: “With certainty” there will be another volcanic eruption over a period of a million years. Volcanic activity in the Eifel has been closely monitored for years. The size of the Eifel Plume, which is becoming ever larger at 100 km wide, surprises geologists.
The Eifel in the focus of research
Lake Laacher See is not only known for its picturesque landscape, but has also become a focal point for seismological research. In recent years, numerous low-frequency earthquakes have been recorded there, indicating magmatic movements. In addition, the Neuwied Basin north of Koblenz is showing the first signs of movement. Merkur.de reported unusual gas levels measured both in the lake and on the shore.
The last eruption in the Eifel was around 13,000 years ago, and geologists are now working on interpreting the first warning signs. The Eifel covers an area of 5,300 square kilometers and is home to an estimated 270 to 800 volcanoes. The population is called upon to follow further developments closely and to find out about possible emergency plans.
Gastronomic highlights away from danger

The craft art of pizza making is currently experiencing a renaissance in Lisbon. The return of counters in restaurants shows that gastronomy thrives even in times of crisis and brings people together, while the unknown in the Eifel makes us think.
An exciting time is evidence of itself: the Eifel has the potential for dramatic changes, while in other regions such as Lisbon the attitude to life is thriving. The challenge will be to do justice to both environments and to be enthusiastic about both safety and the joy of enjoyment. All eyes are on developments and one can only hope that the coming months will offer both natural forces and culinary discoveries.
