Detailed images of the lithosphere beneath the western Bohemian Massif were obtained by analysis of more than 8500 P receiver functions. At the intersection of Regensburg‐Leipzig‐Rostock zone and Eger Rift, crustal thickness decreases to 26 km from approx. 31 km in the surroundings. The receiver functions display a positive phase at about 6 s delay time and a strong negative phase at 7 to 8 s, which coincides with an area of Moho updoming, CO2 mantle‐derived degassing and earthquake swarm activity. These phases can be modeled by a velocity increase at 50 km and a velocity decrease at 65 km depth. The velocity decrease, observed over an area of 5300 km2, gives evidence for local asthenospheric updoming and/or a confined body of partial melt, which might be the cause for high CO2 mantle fluid flow and earthquake swarm activity in this recently nonvolcanic, intracontinental rift area.
