Daymark Wangerooge-East, Navigational daymark and architectural monument on Wangerooge island, Germany.

The Daymark Wangerooge-East stands 56 meters tall on the eastern coast of Wangerooge, serving as a fixed reference point for maritime navigation in the North Sea.

The current structure was built between 1932 and 1933 to replace an earlier lighthouse that was destroyed during a winter storm flood in 1854.

The daymark represents the maritime traditions of the East Frisian Islands, marking centuries of navigation through the complex Wadden Sea tidal flats.

Visitors can reach the daymark by taking a ferry to Wangerooge island and following the eastern coastal path through the natural landscape.

Despite its lighthouse-like appearance, this structure never functioned as an operational lighthouse but solely as a navigational reference point for seafarers.
