Leuchtturm Dahmeshöved, Heritage lighthouse in Dahme, Germany
Leuchtturm Dahmeshöved is an octagonal brick tower standing 29 meters tall on a coastal headland between Fehmarn and Travemünde, serving as a navigation aid for ships in the Lübeck Bay. The structure sits on a rocky outcrop surrounded by meadows and grassy areas that slope toward the water.
The tower was built between 1878 and 1879 following plans by Ludwig Alexander Veitmeyer and began operations with a petroleum-powered lighting system. The Fresnel lens was the core of the navigation system for many years before modern technology took over the installation.
The lighthouse carries the name of the nearby location Dahmeshöved and shapes the visual identity of this coastal region. It stands along a popular walking route where both locals and visitors regularly pass by.
Access to the lighthouse is available daily from April to October, with parking located in nearby Dahme requiring a walk to reach the structure. The internal staircase is steep with 108 steps, so wearing comfortable footwear is important.
The upper platform of the lighthouse functions as a wedding venue where couples can marry at 30 meters height with a maximum of seven guests present after climbing the 108 steps. This unusual ceremony setting is rare and makes the location memorable for certain couples.
