It shook the house shortly - was not sure, whether something heavy fell down above us or whether it was an earthquake. However, nothing fell down - no damage, it lasted 1-2 seconds only. It was clearly felt by me and my girl friend and it was at the time the earthquake in South Hessen was reported. So it was probably this earthquake, although the news said it was only felt in South Hessen and North Württemberg.0
