    The Düsseldorf Rhine gauge is in the old town at Rhine kilometer 744.2 and is 24.48 meters above sea level.
    The Rhine flows through the city over a length of 42.1 kilometers. The left bank of the Rhine is part of the Neuss district for 33.2 kilometers.

      In the 18th century, the first staff level with a scale in Rhineland foot measurements was erected on the shipyard wall in Düsseldorf. Since 1872, the water level has been indicated in the metric system. In 1902, the Art Nouveau level tower with a float level was built at the current location. In the gauge house there is a vertical shaft down to the lowest point of the river bed. According to the principle of communicating tubes, the water level in the monitoring tube is just as high as that of the Rhine. A float in the level pipe controls the pointers on the dial of the level meter via a deflection gear. In 1954, a compressed air gauge with remote data transmission was also put into operation.

        The Rhine water level gauge. Indispensable!

          Large pointer shows meters, smaller pointer shows centimeters.

          In one picture the water level is approx. 2.1m

              The level meter is of particular importance for fans of classical music. It marks the spot where Robert Schumann jumped into the Rhine in a fit of mental derangement.

                The Rhine flows near Düsseldorf between Rhine kilometer 722 and 755.

                Here at the water level in the middle of a lively promenade.

                  A gauge should always be kept in view.

                      The clock is not far from the Rhine.

                          The level meter is ambiguous, as there are many ways to have a cold drink

                            The river level is made visible by a level clock via a shaft and float

                              The Düsseldorf water level clock stands on the right bank of the Rhine, near the Weisse Flotte pier between the Rheinknie Bridge and the Oberkassel Bridge. For years, the historic water level clock hasn't shown the time or the Rhine's water level.
