Leuchtturm Norderney, Maritime navigation tower in Norderney, Germany

The brick lighthouse stands 54.6 meters tall with an octagonal cross-section and features a viewing gallery beneath its lantern room at the top.

Construction of the lighthouse took place from 1871 to 1874 following requests from merchants in Emden and Bremen to improve maritime safety along the coast.

The lighthouse appears on a commemorative German postage stamp issued in 2009, with an initial print run of 12.3 million copies.

Visitors can climb 252 steps to reach the observation deck, which remains open for tours between early April and late October.

The structure transitions from a square base measuring 13.27 meters in height to an octagonal shaft that contains the main lighthouse mechanisms.
