The microseismic monitoring at Rittershoffen began 6 months before any drilling. Four permanent stations were deployed at the surface in 2012 and completed the network of eight surface stations from the Soultz-sous-Forêts network. The permanent network is composed of one or three-components seismometers. A temporary network of 31 stations (TOPASE network) was deployed from June 2013 to November 2014 to improve the dectection and location of the seismic monitoring during the field development operations. The stations of the temporary network were three-component seismometers belonging to the Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Easting and northing in the file refer to the extended Lambert II Cartesian system. The latitude and longitude in the WGS84 coordinate system have been derived from the extended Lambert II Cartesian system.

Seismological signals acquired during the development phase of the geothermal project at Rittershoffen. Waveforms from the permanent stations described in RITD-Surface_network (https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/RITD-Surface_network) are provided for each event from RITD-Catalogue (https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/RITD-Catalogue), (-30s, +90s). All the waveforms from the temporary seismic network installed in 2013 and 2014 are available on the GFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences) data services website.

The ECOGI powerplant (https://geothermie.es.fr/en/references/projet-ecogi) is a geothermal powerplant designed by ÉS-Géothermie and located at Rittershoffen in northern Alsace, 7 km southeast of Soultz-sous-Forêts. The geothermal plant of Rittershoffen is operating since mid-2016 and produces 24 MWth of thermal power, with a production temperature of 170 °C. The geothermal heat production is directly used by a biorefinery located at Benheim. Two wells ensure the production and reinjection of the geothermal fluid. The development of the deep geothermal field took place between 2012 and 2014. Several earthquakes occurred between 2012 and 2014 during the drilling of the two wells GRT-1 (https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/RIT-GRT1) and GRT-2 (https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/RIT-GRT2) and some of the hydraulic tests realized on site. The induced seismicity was recorded by a permanent and a temporary seismic network.
