Leuchtturm Timmendorf, Lighthouse in Ostseebad Insel Poel, Germany.
Leuchtturm Timmendorf is a 21-meter-tall brick tower located on the coast of Insel Poel at the Baltic Sea. The structure marks the entrance to Wismar harbor and serves maritime traffic with its light signal.
Built in 1872, this structure was expanded to its present height in 1931 and remains one of the oldest operating lighthouses from that era. The tower continues to function as a navigation aid along Germany's Baltic coast.
The brick structure with its plain, functional design defines the coastal landscape and speaks to the maritime traditions of this region. Visitors can trace the working heritage of the area by observing how the tower sits among sailing vessels and fishing boats that still operate nearby.
The tower can be viewed from the outside, and guided tours can be arranged through the local visitor center. The site is easily accessible with parking available nearby for those who want to stop and explore the area.
Near the tower sits a naturist beach and water sports area with mooring spots for sailboats and motorboats. This mix shows how the location serves both leisure visitors and active harbor traffic in the same space.
