Recent geological survey in the area of the České středohoří Mts. allowed to identify new fault structures inside the volcanic complex. Dip-slip faults were mostly detected, but strike-slip and combined movements were also observed, especially on faults parallel to graben margins. Fault plane geometries and the importance of strike-slip movements on the faults indicate the dominance of shear stress over the whole Ohře/Eger Graben structure rather than pure extension in the synvolcanic and postvolcanic periods. The newly identified structures are described in this paper, including their assumed kinematic function. An assessment of previously known tectonic structures in this area is also given.
