The Ostra rises 60 centimetres above its mark at Hochstadt

Cellars in Long Way are flooded. The town took stock the next morning. Most of it was where it had been left; some of it was not.

The Ostra rises 60 centimetres above its mark at Hochstadt. Cellars in Long Way are flooded. a small crowd gathered in the street and dispersed at dusk, the ford being passable. One witness, a boatman from the lower quay, gave the following account: 'The clerk wrote it all down; you may ask him.'

The town officers met a little after 8 in the morning the following day and resolved to enter the matter in the minute book. The school was open as usual.

Those concerned: Hochstadt (location); Long Way (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Lukas Marsch, has been briefed.
