Instead, three lava streams flowed out of the Bellerberg Volcano which, thousands of years later were to become the basis of the economy in the surrounding villages in the form of basalt lava deposits: the Ettringer lava stream, the Mayen lava stream and the Winfeld lava stream.
Stattdessen flossen aus dem Bellerberg-Vulkan drei Lavaströme aus, die Jahrtausende später in Form von Basaltlavavorkommen Grundlage der Wirtschaftskraft der umliegenden Ortschaften sein sollten: der Ettringer Lavastrom, der Mayener Lavastrom und der Winfeld Lavastrom.
