Building stones or dimension stones reflect the geology of a region and numerous publications captured this knowledge worldwide. In addition, building stones help to explain climate change during earth history and touch a topic which is increasingly relevant for GeoParks. For example, GeoPark Grenzwelten explains with building stones obstructed in the medieval city of Korbach how Late Permian to Early Triassic climate differs from today’s climate and draws attention to the challenge of natural vs anthropogenic global warming. |
