Flood risk in Hanover: Current leash in view!

On June 17, 2025, the levels of the leash in Hanover show interesting developments. The two main flows of the region are the leash and the Ihme. The former rises in the southern Eichsfeld and flows north of Schwarmstedt into the Aller, while the Ihme, which is formed in the Divoral Fland, flows into a leash north of Hanover. However, the current state of the leash causes some excitement in the region.

In Hanover-Herrenhausen, a level of 74 cm was measured today, which is 52 percent below the middle water level of 155 cm. This means a falling trend, which has brought some relief to residents. In Neustadt, on the other hand, the water level of 176 cm shows a tendency that has remained constant since the last update at 4:00 p.m. CEST; Here the water level is 17 percent below the mean of 213 cm.

The domestic cities must continue to remain vigilant, because the reporting points regarding floods are clearly defined. There are a total of four warning levels: level 1 signals on the full drain and occasionally flooding, while level 4 can result in larger floods in built-up areas with the use of water and dam brigades. These alarms are carried out according to the civil protection and disaster relief law, with various places such as the federal government, countries, police or fire brigade being able to issue warnings. Citizens can find out more about various channels such as radio, television or social media.

In addition, it is important to mention that the highest water levels of the leash in the past were 644 cm, measured on February 10, 1946. However, it looks like residents have not feared any major risks. The coming days will show whether this trend will continue and the leash will continue to sink. From a purely hypothetical point of view, the weather could also change very quickly, but for the time being the situation is relaxed.

On the whole, one can say that surveillance and data update are of great importance for the region in order to be able to react to any change of weather. The various level stations of the leash provide valuable information for the residents and the authorities in order to be well equipped in the event of cases. For the people in Hanover, a guilty eye is certainly advisable on a leash and ihme; Because when nature calls, quick decisions will be required. So the region remains in concern for its rivers and follows the developments.
