- Siemens’ lightning information
service detected about 446,000 strokes of lightning in Germany in 2018 – 3,000
more than in 2017
- Germany’s “lightning capital” was
Schweinfurt, which also headed the list in 2014

The Lower
Franconian city of Schweinfurt was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2018,
succeeding the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which topped
the list in 2017. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands
for
Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected 5.0 lightning strikes
per square kilometer in Schweinfurt in 2018. The districts of
Rheinisch-Bergisch in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Weilheim-Schongau
in Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 4.0 and 3.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest concentration of lightning
strikes was in the cities of Kiel, Potsdam and Schwerin and in the Lüchow-Dannenberg
district (0.2). With lightning striking 3.0 times per square kilometer,
Saarbrücken led the country’s list of state capitals in 2018. Saarland was the
state registering the most lightning strikes detected per square kilometer,
while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the state with the fewest. Overall, at 446,000,
BLIDS again registered a comparatively low level of atmospheric discharges in
Germany – although 2017’s level and 2016’s record low level of some 432,000 strikes
