Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

No stronger detection stands among the 5 recorded within 20 km of this point since 21 August 2026 — 4 others scored the same. The last comparable one was on 29 August 2026.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: THIESSOW on OSTSEE | Current level: 507 cm

The gauge on the OSTSEE read 507 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 52 readings since 23 August 2026 — the previous range was 507 cm to 516 cm.
