Lithology (Böhm and Dax 2019), and sonic (Th1,Th2a,Th3,Th5 and Th6: SWM (2019); Th4: Schölderle et al. (2021)) and density logs of the six boreholes at the geothermal plant SLS drilled into the footwall, the intermediate block and the hanging wall of the Munich Fault. The sonic logs (DTC) were measured and the density logs were calculated using Gardner’s equation. The geothermal reservoir is located in the Upper Jurassic Malm carbonates, mainly within Malm Zeta. In contrast to the wells drilled into the intermediate block and the hanging wall, the lithology of the reservoir could not be determined for the entire well path in the footwall due to heavy mud loss
