Palaeovolcanic and Present Magmatic Structures Along the N-S Trending Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock Zone Palaeovolcanic and present magmatic structures along the N-S trending Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock zone kumulative Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften doctor rerum naturalium - Dr. rer. nat. vorgelegt dem Rat der Chemisch-Geowissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena von Diplom-Geophysiker Tobias Nickschick geboren am 18.11.1985 in Wernigerode Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Lothar Viereck 2. Prof. Dr. Florian Bleibinhaus Tag der Veteidigung: 18.01.2017 Vorwort Diese Abschlussarbeit entstand während meiner Anstellung und Tätigkeit als wissenschaftlicher Mit- arbeiter in der Sektion 3.2 Organische Geochemie am Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam - Deutsches GeoFor- schungsZentrum GFZ durch die Drittmittelfinanzierung der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG in einem gemeinsamen Projekt mit der Universität Leipzig. Diese kumulative Dissertation ist in zwei in sich geschlossene Teile aufgeteilt. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit dem übergreifenden Thema der Dissertation, der Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock-Störungszone, der zweite Teil befasst sich mit den von meinen Coautoren und mir verfassten Fachpublikationen zu ausgewählten Einzefallbeispielen innerhalb des Gesamtrahmens. Um das Gesamtlayout dieser Dissertation nicht zu stören, werden die insgesamt vier Publikationen, von denen drei bereits publiziert sind und eine eingereicht ist, in einem separaten Teil zuammengefasst präsentiert, womit der Auflage der Promotionsordnung die Originalversionen der Publikationen zu prä- sentieren, erfüllt wird. Der erste Teil wurde von mir als alleinigem Autor verfasst, die Artikel, die im zweiten Teil zusammengefasst sind, entstanden in einem Autorenkollektiv. Die Anteile des jeweiligen Kollegen an der Erstellung der Publikationen sind im Anschluss an diese Arbeit zu finden. Da die Artikel sprachlich aufgrund des Autorenkollektivs auf die 1. Person Plural zurückgreifen, wird diese auch im ersten Teil verwendet. Zusammenfassung Die hier vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock Störungszone, einem etwa 700 km langen und rund 40 km breiten Verbund aus einzelnen Störungslineamenten unter besonderer Betrachtung der gegenwärtigen und vergangenen vulkanischen und magmatischen Aktivität. Die Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock Störungszone wird häufig in der aktuellen Literatur verwendet um ein besonderes Phänomen rezenten Fluidaufstiegs zu charakterisieren, die sogenannten Erdbebenschwärme. Allerdings wird hierbei oft nicht auf die Hintergründe für den Auslösemechanismus eingegangen, welche die eben genannten, magmatisch bedingten Aufsteige von Fluiden sind. Häufig sind diese an Kreuzungs- bereichen von tiefreichenden Störungen angesiedelt, welche Schwächezonen für aufsteigende Fluide und Magmen darstellen. In dieser Arbeit wird daher eine Kompilation aus bisher bekannten Vulkanfeldern und Einzelstrukturen entlang dieser Störungszone erstellt und um aktuelle Forschung in Form von Fach- publikationen des Promovenden erweitert. Entlang der Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock Störungszone lassen sich vor allem ultramafische bis kar- bonatitische, vulkanische oder sub-vulkanische Ausprägungsformen entdecken, wie beispielsweise Maar- Diatrem-Vulkane, tief erodierte Diatreme, Schlackekegel, verdeckte Intrusionen oder Gänge. Jener Che- mismus ist überwiegend mit einer Magmenherkunft aus dem lithosphärischen Oberen Mantel assoziiert. Auffällig dabei ist die hohe Variabilität der Alter der Vulkanfelder. Die ältesten Vorkommen bisher be- kannter vulkanischer Tätigkeit sind dabei der Delitzsch- bzw. Delitzsch-Bitterfeld-Komplex und ein bisher unbekanntes Feld aus Diatremen in der Nähe des heutigen Erdbebenschwarmgebietes um Werdau, wel- ches etwa 70 bis 80 km entfernt von Delitzsch liegt. Aktiver Vulkanismus im Tertiär (Paläogen und Neogen) entlang der Störungszone lässt sich unter anderem im Vogtland, in Nordostbayern und Nord- westböhmen finden, dessen Ursache möglicherweise in der Öffnung des Eger Grabens (Eger Riftes) zu suchen ist. Junge vulkanische Aktivität des Quartärs kann anhand von zwei bekannten Schlackekegeln und einem Maar-Diatrem-Vulkan im nordwestböhmischen Cheb-Becken untersucht werden und selbst ge- genwärtig andauernde magmatische Aktivität ist unterhalb dieses Beckens zu verzeichnen. Insbesondere die Mofettenfelder um Hartoušov und Bublák im Cheb-Becken sind dabei besonders geeignete Untersu- chungslokalitäten für die Beobachtung einer rezenten Magmenintrusion. Die Nähe zu dem durch fluidin- duzierte Erdbebenschwärme seismisch aktivsten Gebiet, des Nový Kostel Hypozentralgebietes, welches sich direkt nördlich der Mofettenfelder entlang einer Nord-Süd-verlaufenden Störung befindet, ist dabei wissenschaftlich brisant. Die hier vorgestellte Übersicht der Vulkanfelder wird ergänzt um insgesamt vier Studien zu drei verschiedenen magmatisch-bedingten Strukturen: dem kretazischen, vermuteten Diatrem nahe Greiz, dem quartären Maar-Diatrem in der Nähe von Mýtina an der tschechisch-deutschen Grenze und dem durch magmatische Fluide stark entgasenden Mofettenfeld Hartoušov im Cheb-Becken. Der Einfluss einer derart tiefreichenden, über lange Zeit für Fluide und Magmen passierbaren Störungszone in Zentraleuropa ist bislang nicht geklärt, auch wenn das Vorhandensein dieser Störungszone in vielen Studien vorausgesetzt wird. 1 Summary This PhD thesis focuses on the Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock fault zone, a network of single fault lineaments of about 700 km length and about 40 km width in total, under special consideration of past and present volcanic and magmatic activity. The Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock zone is often used in recent studies to explain a very well-researched and characteristic phenomenon of recent fluid ascent, the so-called earthquake swarms. However, these studies often do not account for the background of the actual trigger, which is the aforementioned magmatically induced migration of fluids. In most cases fluid ascent occurs at intersections of deep-reaching faults, which provide excellent ascent paths for migrating fluids. Within the frame of this thesis a compilation of currently known volcanic provinces and singular formations is created and supplemented by recent research results in form of scientific articles written by the author of this PhD thesis. Along the Regensburg-Leipzig-Rostock zone mainly ultramafic and carbonatitic volcanic to subvol- canic formations can be found in the forms of maar-diatreme-volcanoes, deeply eroded diatremes, scoria cones, hidden and covered intrusions or dykes etc. The different volcanic provinces feature a high varia- bility in their respective ages of formation. The oldest formations associated with this fault zone are the Cretaceous Delizsch, or Delitzsch-Bitterfeld, complex and a yet unknown volcanic field of similar age near the seismically active area around Werdau, which is about 70 to 80 km away from the Delitzsch complex. Volcanic activity in the Tertiary (Palaeogene and Neogene) can be studied in the Vogtland area, in north- eastern Bavaria and north-west Bohemia, which are presumed to have been formed due to the rifting process of the Eger Graben (Eger rift). Young volcanism within the Quaternary has so far been found in the north-west Bohemian Cheb Basin in form of two scoria cones and one maar-diatreme-volcano. A recently ongoing magmatic intrusion has been observed beneath the Cheb Basin within two mofette fields (Hartoušov and Bublák) which are directly related to a N-S running lineament. In continuation of this lineament is the Nový Kostel focal area, which is characterized by recurring, fluid-triggered seismic acti- vity in form of earthquake swarms. The compilation of volcanic provinces presented here is supplemented by new information from four studies on three separate magmatically influenced structures: an assumed diatreme of Cretaceous age near the city of Greiz, the Quaternary Mýtina maar at the German-Czech border and the mofette field of Hartoušov which is heavily influenced by the assent of magmatic fluids. The impact of a deep-reaching fault zone which is passable for fluids and magma over such a long period of time has is not completely understood, even though many studies take the existence of this fault zone for granted. 2 Im Zusammenhang mit dieser Doktorarbeit entstanden die folgenden wissenschaftlichen Beiträge: ISI-Standard-Publikationen 1.

White11 Abstract Tamara Grummt passed away on January 26, 2020 in Oelsnitz/Vogtland, Germany. Tamara was one of the scientifc pioneers in the feld of environmental toxicology, namely genotoxicity and hygiene of drinking and bathing waters. Her passing is not only a great loss to environmental research and to the global environmental toxicology commu‑ nity—we have lost an outstanding personality with the heart in the right place, who has become, for many of us, a wonderful friend. Tamara was born on December 30, 1955 in Lutherstadt- methods including the Ames test, chromosome aberra- Eisleben (Saxony, Germany) as one of three children in a tion tests in cell cultures and primary lymphocytes, the miner’s family in Röblingen am See. After 12 years of edu- UDS and micronucleus tests. In 1990, Tamara completed cation in primary and secondary schools at Schraplau and her postgraduate studies to become a specialist in medi- Querfurt, she received her High School A level in 1974 cine (specializing in human genetics) and worked at the and started studying biology at the Martin-Luther-Uni- versity Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), where she was awarded her diploma in biology in 1979.

  • Message from the New Chairman
    Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy Newsletter No. 21 April, 2005 MESSAGE FROM THE NEW CHAIRMAN Dear SDS Members: This new Newsletter gives me the pleasant opportunity to thank you for your confidence which should allow me to lead our Devonian Subcommission successfully through the next four years until the next International Geological Congress in Norway. Ahmed El Hassani, as Vice-Chairman, and John Marshall, as our new Secretary, will assist and help me. As it has been our habit in the past, our outgoing chairman, Pierre Bultynck, has continued his duties until the end of the calendar year, and in the name of all the Subcommission, I like to express our warmest thanks to him for all his efforts, his enthusi- asm for our tasks, his patience with the often too slow progress of research, and for the humorous, well organized and skil- ful handling of our affairs, including our annual meetings. At the same time I like to thank all our outgoing Titular Members for their partly long-time service and I express my hope that they will continue their SDS work with the same interest and energy as Corresponding Members. The new ICS rules require a rather constant change of voting members and the change from TM to CM status should not necessarily be taken as an excuse to adopt the lifestyle of a “Devonian pensioner”. I see no reason why constantly active SDS members shouldn´t become TM again, at a later stage. On the other side, the rather strong exchange of voting members should bring in some fresh ideas and some shift towards modern stratigraphical tech- niques.

In the face of climate change, the assessment of land transport infrastructure exposure towards adverse climate events is of major importance for Europe’s economic prosperity and social wellbeing. Robust and reliable information on the extent of climate change and its projected future impacts on roads and railways are of prime importance for proactive planning and the implementation of targeted adaptation strategies. Among various menacing natural hazards, landslides stand out as 5 most destructive hazards to the functional effectivity and structural integrity of land-bound transport systems, since they cause long-lasting downtimes and exceedingly expensive repair works. Periods of heavy precipitation persisting over several days are known to be a major trigger for increased landslide activity. Along with climate change such events can be expected to increase in frequency, duration and intensity over the decades to come. In this study, a Climate Index (CI) picturing rainfall patterns which trigger landslides in Central Europe is analyzed until 10 the end of this century and compared to present day conditions.

  • The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches : Church Property
    The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches: Church Property, Theologians, and the League of Schmalkalden CHRISTOPHER OCKER ID THE CREATION OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES IN GERMANY during Luther’s generation follow someone’s intentions? Heiko Oberman, appealing to a medieval DLuther, portrays the reformer as herald of a dawning apocalypse, a monk at war with the devil, who expected God to judge the world and rescue Christians with no help from human institutions, abilities, and processes.1 This Luther could not have intended the creation of a new church. Dorothea Wendebourg and Hans-Jürgen Goertz stress the diversity of early evangelical movements. Goertz argues that anticlericalism helped the early Reformation’s gamut of spiritual, political, economic, and social trends to coalesce into moderate and radical groups, whereas Wendebourg suggests that the movements were only united in the judgment of the Counter Reformation.2 Many scholars concede this diversity. “There were very many different Reformations,” Diarmaid McCulloch has recently observed, aimed “at recreating authentic Catholic Christianity.”3 But some intention to form a new church existed, even if the intention was indirect. Scholars have identified the princely reaction to the revolting peasants of 1524–1525 as the first impetus toward political and institutional Protestantism.4 There was a 1Heiko A.

  • Integration of East German Resettlers Into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR
    Integration of East German Resettlers into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR Doctoral Thesis of Aaron M.P. Jacobson Student Number 59047878 University College London Degree: Ph.D. in History 1 DECLARATION I, Aaron M.P. Jacobson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT A controversy exists in the historiography of ethnic German post-WWII refugees and expellees who lived in the German Democratic Republic. This question is namely: to what extent were these refugees and expellees from various countries with differing cultural, religious, social and economic backgrounds integrated into GDR society? Were they absorbed by the native cultures of the GDR? Was an amalgamation of both native and expellee cultures created? Or did the expellees keep themselves isolated and separate from GDR society? The historiography regarding this controversy most commonly uses Soviet and SED governmental records from 1945-53. The limitation of this approach by historians is that it has told the refugee and expellee narrative from government officials’ perspectives rather than those of the Resettlers themselves. In 1953 the SED regime stopped public record keeping concerning the Resettlers declaring their integration into GDR society as complete. After eight years in the GDR did the Resettlers feel that they were an integrated part of society? In an attempt to ascertain how Resettlers perceived their own pasts in the GDR and the level of integration that occurred, 230 refugees and expellees were interviewed throughout the former GDR between 2008-09.
