Lighthouse Westerheversand, Lighthouse in Westerhever, Germany

Westerheversand Lighthouse is a 40-metre tower of 608 screwed cast-iron plates on a brick base, painted in broad red and white horizontal bands. It stands on a four-metre-high mound about 1000 metres before the sea dike at Westerhever. A dark gallery with railing surrounds the glass lantern room, which has a pointed red roof and small spire.

The tower was erected in 1906 on a four-metre-high mound supported by 127 oak piles, and its 130-tonne shaft of 608 screwed cast-iron plates came from the Isselburger Hütte. The light entered service on 26 May 1908, powered by a carbon arc lamp fed by diesel generators. In 1975 a 2000-watt xenon high-pressure lamp replaced it, and the tower has been monitored automatically from Tönning since the keepers left.

Since the 1970s the tower has served as the advertising motif of the Jever brewery from Friesland, whose slogan "Wie das Land, so das Jever" was criticised for linking a Lower Saxon beer to a North Frisian landmark. It also appears on Norda fish-preserve cans and on cinema posters for Otto – Der Außerfriesische, though the film itself shows the Pilsum lighthouse.

The walk to the tower takes about 20 minutes along an elevated path through the marsh. It is important to wear sturdy footwear as the ground can be wet or muddy depending on the season.

The tower was used from the 1970s as an advertising motif by the Friesian Brauhaus zu Jever, a Lower Saxony beer brand, under the slogan "Wie das Land, so das Jever." The campaign drew criticism for pairing a North Frisian landmark with a beer from another region. The tower also appears on Norda fish-preserve cans and on cinema posters for Otto – Der Außerfriesische, though the film itself shows the Pilsum lighthouse.
