Abstract
The seismic activity following the large Roermond earthquake of April 13, 1992, was concentrated in the area of the main shock and, surprisi ngly, a few kilometers northeast of Aachen. The locations and source p arameters of 13 earthquakes, which occurred in the Aachen area, are pr esented. The evaluation is based mainly on seismograms from four mobil e seismograph stations of the RWTH Aachen (Rheinisch-Westfalische Tech nische Hochschule) which were installed close to the epicenters. Fault -plane solutions were determined for two of these earthquakes.
