HWGWP flood crest gauge

This set of data depicts the locations of the federal flood measuring stations, known as "Hochwassergrenzwertpegel". The data was collected in 2005; readings are no longer being taken. The stations were usually equipped with flood crest gauges, on which the maximum water level reached between readings was only read off a few times a year.
