German Earthquake Catalogue

This Web Map Service (WMS) is based on a database providing information on the seismicity in Germany an adjacent areas. It contains locations of seismic events since 800; whereat their epicentre determinations are based on historical sources as well as on measurements of seismometer stations since the start of instrumental seismological recording in the 20th century. Today, digital data acquisition at seismometer stations of the German regional seismic network (GRSN), the seismic GERES array, and the Gräfenberg array (GRF),enables along with near real time data transmission of recorded seismometer data to the seismological central observatory at BGR, the immediate detection and analysis of seismic events, and their provision to the WMS. All events with a local magnitude ML 2.0 and higher are shown. The epicentre determination is initially carried out by an automatic processing procedure. Such a procedure might result - occasionally - inerroneous epicentre estimates and overestimated magnitudes. Therefore results obtained by the automatic procedure routinely post-processed by a manual and inter-active analysis on the following labour day.
