The Erzgebirge dome, exposing Proterozoic - Early Palaeozoic metagranitoids and metasedimentary rocks of the Saxothuringian domain in the Bohemian Massif, is formed by a tectonic stack of several UHP-HP and HT units exhumed during the Variscan continental subduction-collision process. A systematic study of orthogneiss deformation microstructures carried out on a regional scale has been done to evaluate these units' extent and relative structural position in the subduction complex. Five different microstructural types have been distinguished, revealing two overprinting sequences with 1) coarse-grained microstructures in the parautochthonous Kateřina-Reitzenhain Dome and 2) fine- grained microstructures in the allochthonous HP-HT Gneiss Eclogite Unit I. P-T conditions of the individual overprinting microstructures calculated by conventional thermobarometry suggest continuous deformation during exhumation along two contrasting P-T paths. The warmer one in the parautochthonous unit showed exhumation from ~13.5 kbar and ~820 ◦C to ~3 kbar and ~500 ◦C, while the colder one in the allochthonous unit showed exhumation from ~16 kbar and ~740 ◦C to ~3 kbar and ~400 ◦C. The overprinting microstructures are associated with vertical shortening interpreted as ductile thinning. This deformation started at depths...
