Germany – Worst flooding in 500 years June 5, 2013 - With water from the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers relentlessly pouring into the old section of Passau in southeast Germany on Monday, the water rose to levels not seen in more than five centuries – since 1501. Markers set in 1954, when the city suffered its worst flooding in living memory, have disappeared beneath the rising water. Flooding has spread across a large area of central Europe following heavy rainfall in recent days, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. iceagenow.info/2013/06/germany-worst-flooding-500-years/
