In the night to friday, an earthquake occured near Ebreichsdorf, about 30 south of Vienna. The magnitude reaches 4.3. Ebreichsdorf had seen somewhat stronger earthquakes already in the years 2000 and 1938.

The earthquake waves have been well-recorded by stations of the University of Vienna (see picture), and the permanent network of the ZAMG (Central Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics). Many people have been woken up by the earthquake, but there was only minor damage. For more information (in German) see www.zamg.ac.at/cms/de/geophysik/news/erdbeben-im-raum-ebreichsdorf-noe
