42.6 ° C July 25, 2019 Lingen (Ems) , Lower SaxonyLower SaxonyLower Saxony  The heat waves in Europe in 2019 were the cause of the heat . The value was measured at 5:00 p.m. The correctness of the measurement was discussed due to the location of the weather station , but the day after the German Weather Service confirmed the record value. On the same day, the previous record from 2015 was exceeded at 13 other stations.
40.5 ° C July 24, 2019 NATO airfield Geilenkirchen near Geilenkirchen , North Rhine-WestphaliaNorth Rhine-WestphaliaNorth Rhine-Westphalia  This value was also reached in the course of the heat waves in Europe in 2019.
40.3 ° C 05th July 2015 Kitzingen , BavariaBavariaBavaria  See also: Heat waves in Europe 2015 - First phase June / July ; this value was reached again on August 7, 2015.
40.2 ° C July 27, 1983 Gärmersdorf , BavariaBavariaBavaria 

In the summer of 2003 , which became known as the “ summer of the century”, new heat records were set in other European countries, but not in Germany; In Germany, several places reached the old high from 1983 with 40.2 degrees.

39.6 ° C 02nd July 1952 Neustadt / Weinstrasse , Rhineland-Palatinate and Schallstadt-Mengen (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald), Baden-WürttembergRhineland-PalatinateRhineland-Palatinate Baden-WürttembergBaden-Württemberg  Heat wave in Central Europe
(39.8 ° C) Aug 18, 1892 Amberg , BavariaBavariaBavaria  The value can be found for August 18, 1892 in the "German Meteorological Yearbook - Bavaria" for the "Amberg" station (station height 519 m). The "Amberg-Stadt" station, which is significantly lower at a height of 385 m, has a temperature maximum for August 1892 of 35.7 ° C in the yearbook. The record value of 39.8 ° C for the "Amberg" station is therefore implausible. Also neighboring stations such as Weiden (399 m; 18.8 .: 35.4 ° C), Regensburg (358.3 m; 17.8 .: 33.9 ° C; 18.8 .: 33.2 ° C), Bayreuth (359.2 ° C) m; 17.8 .: 36 ° C; 18.8 .: 33.2 ° C) and Nuremberg (314.9 m; 18.8 .: 37.2 ° C) reported lower monthly maximums. These measurements therefore confirm the plausibility of the information for the "Amberg-Stadt" station.
