Guided Story

Take a moment to look up at this remarkable structure, standing strong since 1855. Did you know it’s the oldest operational mainland lighthouse along the German Bight? Imagine the countless sailors it has guided safely home through stormy nights. To your left, you’ll see the bustling Neuer Hafen, alive with activity just as it was back then. Turn east, and you’ll spot the proud Schulschiff Deutschland. The best time to be here is at sunset, when the lighthouse’s beam mingles with the fading daylight. It’s a scene that beautifully captures the blend of history and the present.
