Emergency crews came to Bavaria, where the flooding reached its highest levels.

The German Weather Service issued a high storm warning for southern Germany, with the highest warning level given to the very south along the Austrian border. 

By Tuesday morning, the rain had stopped or significantly decreased in many parts of Germany. Yet several parts of the country remained flooded, including upper Bavaria and Nuremberg.
