Kaub

[edit] The gauge tower Kaub is the home of the Kaub gauging station, a "decisive" Rhine water level metering site. Kaub is located at the shallowest part of the Middle Rhine; ships with freight from the ports on the North Sea have to pass Kaub on their way to the southwest of Germany, where a major portion of the German industry is located. Once the level at the gauge passes the 78 cm mark (this is not the actual depth of the river), a low water level threshold is declared. At this level, due to much lower possible load, four time more barges are required to transport the same volume of goods as compared to the high (250 cm) level.

[edit] The honorary mayor is Martin Buschfort, elected in May 2019. His predecessor was Karl-Heinz Lachmann (SPD), in office between 2009 and 2019. From 1989 to 2009 Heribert Werr (KBL) was the mayor. Lachmann was reelected in 2014. Blücher's Rhine-crossing at Kaub, by Wilhelm Camphausen Kaub was part of the temporary state Free State of Bottleneck (German: Freistaat Flaschenhals) from 1919 to 1923.
