List of the Rhine islands
The Rhine islands are referred to as Wörth, Werth ( Middle High German for island), Aue or simply as an island , depending on their geographical location or language usage . Some of the islands in the list are no longer islands in the literal sense due to electricity construction measures , but are still designated as such (marked with an "X"). In most of the river arms that can no longer be navigated by Rhine navigation , marinas have been created. This list does not claim to be complete; Kilometers are not exact. The areas in the Upper and Lower Rhine that were flown around in the course of straightening the Rhine are not islands in the sense of the word. In other words, they are not in the Rhine, but in the bank area. The information with respect to length and width of the islands are only approximate values, depending on the water level and additional longitudinal stations , dams , sluices or Kribben arise other values.
Since the Alpine Rhine “flows” through Lake Constance and merges with the Seerhein into the Untersee , the islands above the High Rhine are counted among the islands in Lake Constance . The island of Werd near Stein am Rhein is the last island of Lake Constance before it flows into the Upper Rhine, and the island of Wörth in the Rhine Falls basin with the castle of the same name is the first Rhine island downstream of the High Rhine towards Basel .
The official Rhine kilometer “zero” is in Constance .
In addition to the islands, there are also well-known shallows of the Rhine in the Middle Rhine .
