From October 1, 1810 to 1824, regular water level observations of the Oder were carried out in Frankfurt at a gauge at the road bridge. Because of a bridge fire in 1813, there are no observations for the period from February 24 to March 5, 1813. From 1824 to the end of 1874, the water level was read from a gauge on the wall of the Packhof. The zero point of the level was lowered by 3 cm on May 29, 1841. From January 1, 1875 to March 31, 1896, the water level observations were made at a gauge on the old Frankfurt bridge. From June 1, 1896, the water level was read from a gauge on the Frankfurt road bridge, which was newly built that year. The new location was 130 m upstream of the old road bridge on the left bank of the Oder at river kilometer 584 and was retained into the 21st century.

Today, the observations are carried out 1.3 km downstream at an inclined level with level bars installed diagonally along the embankment, which is called "Level Frankfurt 1 (Oder)". It was built in 2003/04 and equipped with a write level. The operation initially took place parallel to the old gauge. Since the beginning of the discharge year 2006, the water level observations at the new gauge "Frankfurt 1 (Oder)" have been decisive. The level observations at the historic location were discontinued on November 1, 2007.

The water level observations at the Frankfurt (Oder) gauge are consistently documented in the hydrological yearbook from the discharge year 1901 , only for the period from January to June 1945 there are no entries.
