In the Saxon capital of Dresden, the Elbe River rose from a normal summer level of about 2 m, surpassing the historical flood mark of 8.77 m seen in March 1845, to reach a water level of 9.40 m – the highest level ever been recorded.}, note = {Weichselgartner, J.; Breviere, E.: The 2002 Flood Disaster in the Elbe Region, Germany: A Lack of Context-Sensitive Knowledge.
