Leuchtturm Norddorf, Maritime beacon in Norddorf, Germany.

The cylindrical cast iron tower rises 8 meters high and features a steel lantern topped with a copper conical roof at the eastern edge of Kniepsand.

The Norddorf Lighthouse began its maritime safety operations in 1906, switching from blue gas light to electrical power during the 1930s modernization period.

The lighthouse incorporates Art Nouveau design elements in its structure, representing the architectural preferences of early twentieth-century German maritime construction.

The lighthouse emits white, red, and green light sectors with ranges of 16.1, 12.9, and 11.8 nautical miles respectively for vessel navigation.

A former gas bunker used for fuel storage remains visible at the western foot of the dune, marking the evolution of lighthouse technology.
