River Floods near Wittenberge
Right now
The most recent data we hold from PEGELONLINE arrived 18 hours ago, and this point is not in it. We record detections, not passes: an absence is not proof that nothing is there.
Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.
Reported by PEGELONLINE 76 days ago.
It is the only one we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 24 June 2026.
What the source measured
PEGELONLINE reported: Extreme High Water: SCHNACKENBURG on ELBE | Current level: 4213 cm
The gauge on the ELBE read 4,213 cm, reported by STANDORT MAGDEBURG.
The gauge stands at kilometre 474.6 of that watercourse.
That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 13.69 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
An estimated 22,300 people live within 50 km of this point.
