Association Geopark Volcanic Region Vogelsberg (e.V.)

The Geopark Volcanic Region Vogelsberg was founded in 2012 as a registered association.
Its goal is to make the fiery past visible and experienceable. But it is also important how the earth's history has shaped the region, the development of mankind, his culture and nature.
The mayors of Amoeneburg, Homberg/Ohm, Ulrichstein and Schotten form the board. District Administrator Manfred Goerig is chairman of the association.
In November 2020, the Vogelsberg Volcano Region Geopark was officially declared a "National Geopark".
The Board of Directors is supported and counseled by the Advisory Board:
