As part of the MABIS research project (Mass movements in South and West-Germany)which was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) detailed causal, age and riskanalyses were carried out on several landslides. Investigations were carried out on the SwabianJurassic escarpment (South-West Germany). The mass movements were examined by means ofgeomorphological and pedological field mapping, through the differentiation of the solifluctionlayers and through mineralogical analyses. These investigations aimed at distinguishing betweenHolocene and Pleistocene landslides, classifying different climatic cycles of slope evolution andgathering information about potential risk areas. It could be confirmed that large rotationallandslides (earth-slump flows according to Vames 1978) occurred during the Pleistocene period,whereas during the Holocene period these fossil mass movements were only reworked anddisplaced.
