摘要：

The Swiss historical earthquake catalogue and the macroseismic database have not been significantly improved since 1978. We therefore revised the catalogue and concluded this work in 2002. Three levels of investigation were conducted, depending on the size and location of an event: historical, macroseismic and seismological. For the earthquakes of the last 1000 years with Intensity VI or higher, all available historical information was collected and macroseismic fields were established. The source parameters (epicenter, hypocentral depth class, epicentral intensity, maximum intensity, macroseismic magnitude) and their uncertainties were then determined. Earthquakes with epicentral intensity smaller than VI that occurred inside Switzerland have been reviewed for the period since 1878, or when information was found in historical sources. In total, more than 600 events have been reassessed through historical investigations. Of these events, 177 earthquakes reach intensity VI in the new catalogue and therefore caused damage. About 260 events could be identified as fake events or multiple entries for the same event due to different calendar styles, misprints, or misinterpreted compilations. The catalogue provides a uniform estimate of the moment magnitudes Mw for all events. This uniform earthquake size estimate in terms of magnitude required a magnitude/intensity calibration and reassessment of the instrumental magnitude. Our new earthquake catalogue and the related macroseismic database can be accessed via the Webpage of the Swiss Seismological Service (http://seismo. ethz.ch) The catalogue covers the region included in the Swiss national map at the scale of 1:500'000 (Swiss km-coordinates: 460-880/20-310; Geographic coordinates: 5.6-11.1E/45.3-47.9N).
