Pegel Mannheim

Pegel Mannheim is a measurement station on the Rhine River in Mannheim that continuously records water levels and flow rates. The equipment sits along the riverbank and systematically tracks all changes in the river.

This measurement station was established to document Rhine water levels over the long term and better understand flood risks. Its data has formed a critical part of river management and safety planning for decades.

The gauge represents German engineering precision in water management, forming part of a national network that protects communities along the Rhine.

The measurement data is publicly accessible and continuously monitored by shipping authorities and officials to ensure safe conditions. Visitors can observe the station from the riverbank, especially when water levels rise or drop significantly.

Located at the intersection of the Rhine and Neckar rivers, this gauge captures data from two major waterways that shape Mannheim's geography.
