Abstract
The Upper Ruscinian (MN 15) has a meager record in northern central Europe. Our knowledge of Ruscinian rodents from Germany is restricted to the local faunas of Wölfersheim near Frankfurt and — supposedly — of Gundersheim near Worms. They are of some common interest because of their geographical position. Within Europe they show affinities to well documented faunas both from eastern and southwestern Europe, and because of their northern position they may as well exhibit affinities to Russian and Siberian localities of similar latitudes which became known quite recently. Thus, these local faunas may contribute to biostratigraphical correlations over these areas.
