We report the first detection of Zeeman splitting in the (616−523) rotational transition of interstellar H2O masers. The measurements of Stokes parameter V and I spectra (circular polarization) have been performed at the MPIfR 100-m telescope. Depending on the hyperfine transition that is actually masing, we derive typical magnetic field strengths of B‖∼40 mG (F=7−6) and ∼60 mG (F=6−5). The relation between magnetic field strength and gas density is discussed.
