Abstract

The effects of the Basel earthquake on October 18,1356,22 hours local time, have been studied by collecting all available information in Switzerland, France and Germany. As far as possible the original sources such as chronicles, repair-bills and other reports were evaluated. By taking into account the type of construction in the area, MSK-intensities could be assigned in many cases. The macroseismic field shows, as a striking feature, a distinct extension of the isoseismals towards West-Southwest. In the epicentral zone, the maximum intensity is equal or greater than IX (MSK). The most probable location for the epi-center is about 10 km south of Basel, on the eastern main fault system of the southern Rhinegraben. The estimated focal depth is 10–20 km.
