Kleiner Preuße, Navigational lighthouse in Wremen, Germany.
Description
Kleiner Preuße is a cast iron lighthouse at the harbor entrance of Wremen that features a round cylindrical tower topped with a lantern and viewing gallery. The structure stands on the north side and reaches roughly 12 meters in height.
History

Culture

Practical
The lighthouse is open to visitors on weekends during the early afternoon hours, though exact times may vary with the season. Weather conditions can affect accessibility, so it is wise to plan your visit accordingly and confirm opening hours beforehand.
Did you know?
The structure was reconstructed as an exact replica of the original and features decorative lighting elements that serve no navigational purpose. This artistic choice transforms it into a monument that honors its predecessor while offering a contemporary reinterpretation of the historic beacon.
