Abstract
German
German
Helle Glutwolkenablagerungen des Chachani Vulkans bei Arequipa in Südperu wurden und werden noch immer als Bausteine für die Stadt benutzt, daher ihr Name "die weiße Stadt". Die Herstellung der Bausteine, Sillar genannt, ist eine harte, schlecht bezahlte Arbeit. Die Gefahr, dass weitere Glutwolken des aktiven Vulkans Teile der Stadt verschütten, ist groß.

Light ignimbrite (ash clouds) deposits of the Chachani volcano near Arequipa in South Peru were and are used as bricks, which is why it is called "the white city". The production of the bricks, called sillar, is hard and badly paid work. The volcanoes Chachani and El Misti in the background of Arequipa are active and there is a great danger that more very hot ash clouds from the active volcano will spill down onto the city.
