Nördlinger Ries impact structure

	«	In 1904 Ernst Werner was the first to suggest a meteor impact as a cause for the crater. In 1936 Otto Stutzer pointed out similarities between Meteor Crater (or Barringer Crater; top) in Arizona and the Nördlinger Ries. However the scientific community did not accept the impact theory at that time.	»
