The markings on the post impressively show you how high the water was during the large storm surges.

The brass markings show, for example, the storm surge in 1362, which ensured that Husum had a port in the first place.

It has been a tradition for centuries to attach markings to the North and Baltic Seas after major storm surges or to put up memorial plaques to remember the suffering. Usually it is marked how high the water was at that time. In some places today you can see how high the water has accumulated during numerous storm surges and you can compare earlier floods with today's floods.
