SUMMARY A palaeomagnetic record of the geomagnetic secular variation. during the last 2700yr has been obtained from four lake sediment cores from the Waginger See/Bavaria (12.8°E; 47.9°N) in the northern foreland of the Alps. A time‐scale has been derived from pollen studies on one of the sediment cores. Investigations of susceptibility and intensity (NRM) have been used for stratigraphical intercore correlation. Throughout the period covered, the main swings of declination and inclination records repeat well between the cores. In general, the palaeomagnetic records obtained agree with palaeolimnological and archaeomagnetic results from other European sites.
