p.21: Further east, north of the Mandach Thrust that is considered as the northern boundary of the Detached North Alpine Foreland (Malz et al. 2020; see § 3.2), the S-vergent Mettau Thrust is also subject of controversy (gravitational or tectonic structure, see discussion above; Wildi 1975, Laubscher 2003). This structure is thus regarded as belonging to the South German Platform.
