Travemünde harbour entrance lights

Travemünde harbor entrance lights are modern navigation aids that help ships approaching the port. The red flashing lights are positioned at the Nordermole and work with additional signals to ensure safe passage into the harbor.

The harbor entrance lights were installed in 2013 as part of improvements to maritime safety in the Bay of Lübeck. They replaced older navigation methods with electronic systems that continuously aid safe passage through the harbor.

The light forms part of Travemünde's active harbor culture and shapes how the entrance looks as a modern navigation symbol for maritime life.

The lights are clearly visible from the harbor and docks and can be observed by visitors from the beach or nearby paths. The best view comes at dusk or night when the red flashes become clearly visible.

The light works closely with signal systems installed on the Strandhotel Maritim, together forming a coordinated navigation network. This combined approach shows how modern harbor safety uses multiple points to guide ships securely into port.
