Warnemünde Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse in Warnemünde, Germany
The white brick lighthouse with green bands rises 31 meters above the Warnow river estuary, serving maritime traffic in the Baltic Sea region.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1897 after 34 years of negotiations between Rostock town officials, district administrators, and Mecklenburg railway representatives.
The lighthouse functions as a central element for regional celebrations, with the annual New Year's Day light and music performance drawing 10,000 spectators.
Visitors can climb the internal granite spiral staircase daily from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM between spring and early October to reach the observation platform.
The lighthouse beam sequence creates a specific pattern lasting 24 seconds, allowing ships to identify its location from 37 kilometers at sea.
