Heligoland Düne Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid on Heligoland island, Germany

The 15-meter-tall white and red striped iron tower marks the navigation channels leading to Heligoland ports in the North Sea.

The current lighthouse, built in 1936, replaced earlier navigational structures, including coal beacons maintained by Hamburg merchants since 1663.

The lighthouse represents maritime heritage on Heligoland island, where visitors learn about naval navigation and coastal life.

The lighthouse emits white, red, and green sector lights every four seconds, with white light reaching 11 nautical miles for maritime guidance.

A 10-meter steel mast located 120 meters south of the lighthouse functions as a lower light, forming a dual navigation system.
