Abstract
Summary. The first DEKORP profile, DEKORP 2-S, a 250 km long line perpendicular to the Variscan strike direction, has provided evidence of major crustal shortening during the Variscan orogeny. Sporadic dipping events in a generally transparent upper crust are interpreted as thrust faults, while the highly reflective lower crust fits into the general picture of Palaeozoic provinces. Correlations are established between certain reflectivity patterns and rheology. Moho depths and reflecting lamellae are considered to be post-Variscan.
