Pegelhaus in Koblenz, Historical building on Rhine riverbank, Koblenz, Germany
The Pegelhaus stands as an octagonal structure with a profiled base and glass dome situated directly along the Rhine River promenade.
The structure was built between 1609 and 1611 under Elector Lothar von Metternich, initially serving as a Rhine crane for maritime operations.
The water level gauge installed in 1887 at the entrance continues to provide essential measurements for Rhine navigation and flood documentation.
Visitors can observe historical flood markings on the right side of the entrance while enjoying regional cuisine in the panorama restaurant.
The building measures water levels through a clock-like system where the large hand indicates meters and the small hand shows centimeters.
