Leuchtturm Dahmeshöved, Heritage lighthouse in Dahme, Germany
The octagonal brick tower stands 29 meters tall on a coastal promontory between Fehmarn and Travemünde, providing navigation aid for ships in Mecklenburger Bucht.
Built between 1878 and 1879 following Ludwig Alexander Veitmeyer's plans, the lighthouse began operations with a petroleum-powered light system through a Fresnel lens.
During the German Democratic Republic period, the lighthouse gained recognition as a navigation point for people seeking passage across the Baltic Sea.
From April to October, visitors can access the lighthouse daily, though parking is available only in Dahme, requiring a walk to reach the structure.
The lighthouse functions as a civil registry office where couples can hold marriage ceremonies at 30 meters height with maximum seven guests after climbing 108 steps.
