Reported by PEGELONLINE 101 days ago.

It is the only one we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 26 May 2026.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: QUITZÖBEL OP on UNTERE HAVEL-WASSERSTRASSE | Current level: 400 cm

The gauge on the UNTERE HAVEL-WASSERSTRASSE read 400 cm, reported by STANDORT BRANDENBURG.

The gauge stands at kilometre 156.1 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 19.56 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

After flooding, avoid contact with floodwater which may contain sewage, chemicals, or debris. Follow local emergency service guidance.
