Leuchtturm Kollicker Ort, Lighthouse in Sassnitz, Germany.
The Kollicker Ort lighthouse is a six-metre cylindrical tower of 24 cast-iron elements, painted white, with a red metal gallery and a conical copper roof topped by a wind rose. It stood on the east side of the Jasmund peninsula between the Königsstuhl and the Kieler Ufer. It was dismantled on 9 September 2025 and flown away by an Airbus Helicopters H225.
Put into operation on April 1, 1905, this lighthouse has served its maritime navigation purpose for over a century. Its history is connected to the development of the signaling network along the German Baltic coast in the early 20th century, during a period of expansion in maritime trade in the region.
The tower is a copy of the Ranzow lighthouse, built by Julius Pintsch in 1904 and first lit on 1 April 1905. Its white body is made of 24 cast-iron elements, topped by a conical copper roof with a wind rose. The Ranzow twin stood at Kap Arkona from 2004 to 2019 and has served as Leuchtturm Lauterbach since June 2021.
