Bremerhaven lighthouse

The red brick lighthouse stands 37 meters tall at the Weser River mouth, forming part of the leading light system for maritime navigation.

The lighthouse began operating in 1856 under architect Simon Loschen's design, making it the oldest operational coastal lighthouse on Germany's mainland.

The brick structure represents North German Gothic architecture and received recognition through a Deutsche Post commemorative stamp in 2007.

The lighthouse operates with a white light pattern of two seconds on and two seconds off, providing visibility for eight nautical miles.

The structure displays a measurable lean of 442 millimeters eastward and 538 millimeters southward, monitored since 1968 through regular surveys.
