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.
