Guided Story

Take a look at this lighthouse, built in 1899. It stands as part of the Wittenbergen-Tinsdal leading light line, right here along the Elbe in Hamburg's Rissen district. Alongside the Wittenbergen Lower Light, located about 787 meters east, it guides ships safely along the river. Originally operated manually, this lighthouse has since been automated. With a physical height of 42 meters, it stands tall above its surroundings and is recognized as a cultural heritage monument in Germany. This historical structure is therefore not just a navigational aid, but also a piece of living history.
