What the source measured
PEGELONLINE reported: Extreme High Water: DONNERSCHLEUSE OP on ELBE-LÜBECK-KANAL | Current level: 1171 cm
The gauge on the ELBE-LÜBECK-KANAL read 1,171 cm, reported by STANDORT LAUENBURG.
The gauge stands at kilometre 20.7 of that watercourse.
That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 0.03 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
An estimated 913,823 people live within 50 km of this point.
This is the highest water level we have recorded at this point, over 842 readings since 31 August 2026 — the previous range was 1,157 cm to 1,171 cm.
