Abstract. This work is in honour of Franz Kossmat (1871–1938) and his esteemed paper the Gliederung des varistischen Gebirgsbaues published 1927 in Abhandlungen des Sachsischen Geologischen Landesamts, Volume 1, pages 1 to 39. It constitutes the foundation of the general subdivision of the Central European Variscides into several geotectonic zones and the idea of large-scale nappe transport of individual units. In the English translation presented here an attempt is made to provide a readable text, which should still reflect Kossmat's style but would also be readable for a non-German speaking community either working in the Variscan Mountains or having specific interests in historical aspects of geosciences. Supplementary notes provide information about Kossmat's life and the content of the text. Kossmat's work is a superb example of how important geological fieldwork and mapping are for progress in geoscientific research.

弗朗兹·科斯马特（Franz Kossmat）– <i>瓦里斯坎山脉的细分</ i> –德语文本的翻译，并带有补充说明

摘要。这项工作是为了纪念弗朗兹·科斯马特（Franz Kossmat，1871-1938年）和他受人尊敬的论文，1927年发表在《 Abhandlungen des Sachsischen Geologischen Landesamts》第1卷至第39页的Gliederung des varistischen Gebirgsbaues。欧洲Variscides分为几个大地构造带和单个单元大规模推覆的想法。在此处呈现的英语翻译中，尝试提供一种可读的文本，该文本应仍能反映出Kossmat的风格，但对于在瓦里斯卡纳山脉工作或对地球科学历史方面有特殊兴趣的非德语社区来说也是可读的。补充说明提供有关Kossmat的生活和文本内容的信息。Kossmat'
