Recorded Seismic Activity and Earthquake History Near the Albuchwiesen Protected Landscape Area

This historical catalogue provides a structured overview of seismic activity associated with the geographic coordinates of Albuchwiesen in Baden-Württemberg. Each record details documented earthquake events by date, magnitude, depth, and calculated distance from the protected park parcels. The collection facilitates a clear look at local seismic history derived from regional catalogues without providing predictive hazard assessments or origin analysis.

Albuchwiesen

Albuchwiesen is a small protected nature area in the eastern part of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, situated in the Albuch and Härtsfeld natural region of the Swabian Alb. Designated under the European Union Habitats Directive (FFH), it covers 51.1 hectares distributed across nine separate parcels in four municipalities within three counties. Despite its modest size, the area is ecologically significant because it preserves a rare mosaic of former litter meadows, Hülben (traditional small ponds carved into clay layers), acidic mat-grass swards, small-sedge wet meadows, still waters with transitional mires, and extensively used grassland. These habitats represent relics of once widespread traditional land use on the Ostalb, including former woodland pastures and dry valley hollows. Albuchwiesen is notable for being the smallest FFH site in Baden-Württemberg, yet it protects a disproportionately rich concentration of wetland and grassland habitat types. Roughly 75 percent of the site is moist and mesophilic grassland, while the remainder includes small amounts of woodland, heath, still water, mire and mire-edge vegetation, making it an important refuge for the remaining wetland biodiversity of the Ostalb outside the Brenz valley.

Historical earthquake catalogue spatially associated with Albuchwiesen

Albuchwiesen’s searchable record set connects each earthquake by its reported epicentre and calculated separation from the protected parcels; proximity does not place the event inside them. Readers can compare the catalogue’s time, magnitude, depth, named location, park distance, and original source without treating the data as a current hazard forecast.
