Emden Harbour entry light Westmole, Navigation lighthouse at Emden Harbour entrance, Germany.

The Emden Harbour entry light Westmole is a short navigation lighthouse at the harbor entrance, standing about 9 meters tall with a fixed red light. It helps vessels identify the correct approach route into the port and the Ems estuary.

The lighthouse was built in 1901, shortly after the Westmole was laid out in 1899, to guide ships into the Emden outer harbour. By the Second World War it had become a landmark of Emden, but it was dismantled in 1944 because it obstructed anti-aircraft batteries. Citizens valued it enough that it was rebuilt on its original spot in 1946. A thorough renovation in 1982 replaced the lantern house and gave the tower its signal-red paint.

The tower became Emden's landmark before the Second World War. In 1944 it was dismantled because it obstructed anti-aircraft batteries, but residents valued it so much that it was rebuilt on its original spot in 1946. Since the 1982 renovation, the original lantern house has served as the bridge keeper's house at the swing bridge on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, by the Rotes Siel in the city centre.

The tower stands in the non-public area of Emden's outer harbour, so it cannot be reached from land; visitors see it only from outside the port perimeter or from the water. Its fixed red light has a range of 4 nautical miles, and in poor visibility a foghorn sounds the letters ED every 30 seconds.

The original lantern house was replaced in 1982 and now serves as the bridge keeper's house at the swing bridge on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, by the Roten Siel in Emden's town centre. The tower's foghorn sounds the letters ED in Morse code every 30 seconds.
