The self-similarity of earthquake rupture scaling is a subject of ongoing debates. The output of multiple recent studies agrees on the fact that stress drops of earthquakes varies from 0.1 to 100 MPa over a broad range of seismic moments. We investigated the source parameters of 56 earthquakes in the magnitude range M-L from 0.8 to 3.3 occurred during the 2000 and 2008 swarm in West Bohemia/Vogtland in order to learn if the source scaling of these, most-likely fluid triggered events, differ from the observations in other seismogenic regions around the world. We used two approaches to calculate the corner frequency in the frequency domain: inverting for the corner frequency f(c) of the displacement spectra and integrating of spectra by the method of Snoke. A single f(c) for all stations was determined with attenuation correction defined by inverting for an event-dependent Q-factor.
