Hörnum Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Sylt Island, Germany.
The cast iron lighthouse rises 34 meters above the southernmost point of Sylt Island, serving as a navigation aid for ships in the North Sea.
The construction of Hörnum Lighthouse in 1907 marked a significant development in maritime safety along the northern German coastline during the early twentieth century.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Schleswig-Holstein and serves as an educational center for visitors learning about coastal navigation systems.
Ships can detect the lighthouse beam from up to 20 nautical miles away, providing essential guidance through the challenging waters surrounding Sylt Island.
Located on a continuously eroding dune at Hörnum Odde, the lighthouse structure requires regular monitoring to maintain its stability in the shifting landscape.
