Pegel Kaub, Stream gauge and cultural heritage monument in Kaub, Germany.
The Pegel Kaub structure stands along the Rhine River at kilometer 546.3, featuring measurement instruments and a slate-roofed building in regional architectural style.
The Prussian authorities inaugurated the level tower on May 18, 1905, establishing a fundamental monitoring point for Rhine River navigation and water management.
The structure represents the engineering achievements of early 20th-century German water management systems within the Middle Rhine valley cultural landscape.
