Data from about 40 sites from across the Rhineland converge in Bensberg and are evaluated by several seismologists. "There are lots of small earthquakes every week in the Rhineland, but stronger quakes, which occur, we also feel it on every few thousand years."
The last major quake there was on 22 July 2002 at 7.45 clock. "Earthquakes are with us a rare phenomenon. Nevertheless, there were in the last 20 years here quakes have caused the damage. 1992 is even the cathedral was damaged, "said Hinzen.
