Alte Weser, Maritime navigation tower at Weser River mouth, Germany.
The Alte Weser Lighthouse features a cylindrical steel structure with a red exterior marked by two white horizontal bands and a green lantern.
Constructed between 1961 and 1964, this lighthouse replaced the earlier Roter Sand Lighthouse that had served ships since 1885.
The lighthouse gained wider recognition when the German postal service featured its image on a commemorative stamp in 1976.
The structure emits continuous tricolor signals using a 2000-watt xenon lamp, reaching up to 23 nautical miles for white light sequences.
Built on a sandbank 11 meters below sea level, the lighthouse incorporates radar systems and automated identification technology for maritime navigation.
