Leuchtturm Staberhuk, Heritage lighthouse in Fehmarn, Germany.
Description
Leuchtturm Staberhuk is a brick tower on Fehmarn island that rises 22.5 meters (74 feet) above the Baltic Sea. The structure displays a distinctive two-tone exterior where red bricks cover the western side, replacing originally damaged yellow masonry sections.
History
The lighthouse was built in 1903 following a naval incident involving an imperial German torpedo boat that revealed the need for improved navigation aids. Its lantern room came from a decommissioned Helgoland lighthouse, whose components were relocated and reused at this location.
Culture
The lighthouse shapes the maritime character of the island and stands as a recognized heritage monument, visibly connecting visitors to the region's seafaring past. Its presence marks the landscape and reminds people of shipping's importance to local life.
Practical
The lighthouse is reached from the mainland by bridge or ferry and can be viewed from the surrounding area since the island is relatively flat. Photography works best during sunrise or sunset when the different brick colors appear most distinct.
Did you know?
The lantern originated from the Helgoland island lighthouse and was relocated here after that installation was decommissioned. This repurposing of navigation equipment shows how maritime infrastructure was resourcefully managed across locations.
