Abstract
The probability of storm surges has been estimated for the German Baltic coast by means of a statistical method. This method cannot be used for effective flood protection because the risks are too high. The intervals of recurrence amount to some decades only. The acceptance of such risks, however, enables economic design levels to be found. Especially in port areas, functional aspects have to be taken into account. In this connection, the interpretation of statistics counts. A comparison was made between defense levels and the water levels based on our method.
