Leuchtturm Strukkamphuk, Navigation lighthouse in Fehmarn, Germany.
Leuchtturm Strukkamphuk is a small white concrete beacon on the Baltic coast of Fehmarn that marks shallow waters and shipping lanes. It works together with a rear lighthouse to help ships navigate safely along the challenging coastline.
The lighthouse was built in 1872 to guide ships through Fehmarn's challenging waters. It was updated in 1955 when electrical lighting replaced the older illumination system.
The structure represents maritime navigation heritage as both a German cultural monument and a protected landmark of Schleswig-Holstein state.
The light operates on a steady rhythm that makes it visible from far away at night, helping mariners confirm their course. Visit during months with longer dark hours if you want to see the light signal working clearly.
The structure operates on a precise rhythm of 1.5 seconds light followed by 1.5 seconds dark, creating specific signal patterns for maritime navigation.
