Olhörn lighthouse, Masonry lighthouse in Wyk auf Föhr, Germany
The lighthouse stands 8.6 meters tall with a square base structure and features a white gallery that contains the lantern room at its top.
The current structure, built in 1952, replaced an original light beacon from 1892 that guided ships through the North Sea waters.
The lighthouse forms part of the maritime infrastructure that connects the mainland port of Dagebüll with the islands of Föhr and Amrum.
The lighthouse operates automatically since 1980 and projects white, red, and green lights visible up to 13 nautical miles in clear conditions.
Located on a shallow geestland ridge, this lighthouse guides vessels through the Norderaue tidal channel using a Fresnel lens system.
