Abstract
The structural development of the Danish Central Trough area from the Carboniferous to the Early Cretaceous was studied to test how far back in geological time a graben development can be justified or proved by data.

The presence of Rotliegende volcanics may be related to transtensional movements along a right lateral, northwest-southeast strike-slip fault system
The Zechstein, Triassic, and Early Jurassic times are regarded as stable tectonic periods, during which the Central Trough area may have acted as an interbasinal barrier
Summary
The structural development of the Danish Central Trough area from the Carboniferous to the Early Cretaceous was studied to test how far back in geological time a graben development can be justified or proved by data. The late Hercynian compression seems to have influenced the area. The presence of Rotliegende volcanics may be related to transtensional movements along a right lateral, northwest-southeast strike-slip fault system.
