description: This dataset comprises spreadsheets with fault plane solutions, seismic anisotropy, paleostress data, seismic displacements in the Eastern Alps and is attached to the manuscript "<i>Stress patterns and crustal anisotropy in the Eastern Alps: insights from seismological and geological observations</i>" by F. Villani, A. Antonioli, M. Pastori, P. Baccheschi and M.G. Ciaccio under review on Tectonics. The used relevant papers are cited in the companion paper.
