    At this location in Neu Darchau the water level measurement and the discharge determination are of particular importance. Further downstream, the Geesthacht barrage and the tidal influence of the oceans determine the character of this large Central European river.
    Already in 1839, here on the right bank of the Elbe, at the spot Darchau, a water level measuring point was set up, at which from 1 July 1869 regular water level observations were made. In addition, in 1874 came the drainage. Since then, this basic hydrological work has continued uninterrupted, but after the turmoil of World War II, on the left bank of the Elbe in Neu Darchau.
    The water-related measured values measured at the level are transmitted online or offline to the control center of the WSA Lauenburg. From there, the data are evaluated and forwarded to various internal and external customers.

      The small gauge house is a very nice photo motif when the sky and clouds are reflected in the harbor water. It is particularly beautiful at sunrise.
