Leuchtturm Arngast, Coastal lighthouse in Friesland, Germany
The Arngast lighthouse stands 36 meters tall with a red exterior and white band, directing vessels through the waterways of Jade Bight.
Built in 1910, the lighthouse required 112 wooden posts in its foundation to maintain stability on the sandy bank near Wilhelmshaven.
The lighthouse marks the maritime traditions of Lower Saxony, guiding ships to the ports of Wilhelmshaven, Dangast, and Varel.
The navigation aid emits white light visible up to 21 nautical miles, with red and green sector lights reaching 17 and 16 miles respectively.
The structure operates through a submarine cable from Dangast since 1966, replacing the original diesel power system.
