Water level at the Andernach gauge

On 25/10/2026 at 05:15 the Andernach gauge read 37 cm, 4 cm higher than 24 hours earlier. Source: PEGELONLINE (WSV).

Gauge Andernach is on the Rhine at kilometre 613, on the km 601–624 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

The GlW is 91 cm and the fairway depth maintained below it (TuGlW) is 250 cm; after deducting 30 cm of safety margin the official rule of thumb comes out at Andernach +129. In practice Andernach +129 is used here.

The fairway depth below GlW is what counts as long as no Fehltiefen are reported. Fehltiefen (shortfalls in fairway depth) are published on ELWIS Fehltiefen. The safety margin is not a statutory value and has to be taken on top of the reduced fairway depth listed there.

High water: Marke I and Marke II

At high water Marke I is at 550 cm and Marke II, above which the waterway closes, at 760 cm.
