River Floods near Trier

Trier-SaarburgGermanyPEGELONLINE

Reported by PEGELONLINE 172 days ago.

It is the 7th strongest of the 7 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 16 March 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 2 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: DETZEM UP on MOSEL | Current level: 400 cm

The gauge on the MOSEL read 400 cm, reported by STANDORT TRIER.

The gauge stands at kilometre 165.4 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 112.00 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
