What the source measured
PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: RUDEN on OSTSEE | Current level: 539 cm
The gauge on the OSTSEE read 539 cm, reported by STANDORT STRALSUND.
That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at -4.97 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
This is the lowest water level we have recorded at this point, over 20 readings since 30 August 2026 — the previous range was 539 cm to 542 cm.
