Leuchtturm Schausende

Leuchtturm Schausende, Maritime lighthouse in Schausende, Glücksburg, Germany.

Leuchtturm Schausende is a round reinforced-concrete tower built between 1964 and 1967, standing 26.8 m tall on a low rise on the east side of the Holnis peninsula in Schausende. It is clad in red-and-white fibre-cement panels, and a clinker-brick machine house with control and remote-monitoring equipment and an emergency power supply stands beside it.

A first light was established at Holnis in 1896 to guide shipping into the Flensburg Firth. The present tower was begun in 1964 and commissioned in 1967; the original tower was dismantled in 1980. From 1906 the Holnis keeper also watched the neighbouring Laagmai and Rinkenis lights, a duty that ended around 1920 when the Schleswig plebiscite transferred North Schleswig to Denmark.

The tower stands in the Schausende district of Glücksburg, on the east side of the Holnis peninsula. From 1906 the Holnis keeper also had to watch the neighbouring Laagmai and Rinkenis lights, a duty that likely ended around 1920 when the Schleswig plebiscite transferred North Schleswig to Denmark.

The tower stands freely accessible among the northern buildings of Schausende, on a low rise by the Flensburg Firth. Visitors can walk right up to it, but the tower itself is closed to unauthorised persons. A clinker-brick machine house with the control and remote-monitoring equipment stands beside it.

The light is a halogen lamp of 1,000 watts, automated and unmanned, and it is monitored remotely from the waterway authority's control centre in Travemünde. From 1906 the keeper at Holnis also had to watch the neighbouring lights of Laagmai and Rinkenis, a duty he likely kept until 1920, when the Schleswig plebiscite moved North Schleswig to Denmark.
