A magnitude 3.4 earthquake hit Germany today, September 10, 2026, at 17:27 local time near Worms and Mannheim in Rhineland-Palatinate. The shallow 10 km quake was also reported about 61 km south of Frankfurt. It is the strongest earthquake in Germany so far in 2026.
Today’s event was small. Germany’s written record includes much larger shocks: Düren 1756 (about M6.1–6.4), Albstadt 1911 (M6.1), Albstadt 1978 (M5.7), and the 1872 earthquake east of Gera. The 1356 Basel earthquake, on the southern Rhine Graben, was larger still. Paleoseismology shows Rhine faults can produce rare M6.5–7 events over long timescales. A 3.4 is not a prediction of the next big one.
