Kalkgrund lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The Kalkgrund is a lighthouse in Schleswig-Holstein featuring a distinctive red and white striped exterior and standing about 24 meters tall. The structure is built from reinforced concrete and stands in the Flensburg Firth to support maritime navigation.
The lighthouse began operations in 1963 as an important addition to the navigation infrastructure in the Flensburg Firth. Its construction responded to growing demands of modern maritime traffic in that waterway.
The structure takes its name from a nearby shallow area and serves as a visible landmark for sailors and vessels in the region. Visitors and boat operators use it as a visual reference point while navigating the waters.
The structure operates around the clock and is regularly maintained to ensure reliable function. Visitors can observe it from boats or from certain coastal vantage points while keeping a safe distance.
Since 2014, people worldwide can observe current conditions at the lighthouse through a webcam system. The system provides real-time views of sea conditions and weather around the structure.
