Blankenese Low Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse near Blankenese beach, Hamburg, Germany
The 42-meter white and red cylindrical tower stands in the Elbe river, equipped with two signal lamps for maritime guidance.
The current structure replaced the 1984 lighthouse in 2020, moving 200 meters upriver to accommodate changes in the Elbe fairway.
The lighthouse forms part of Hamburg's maritime infrastructure, maintaining the longest range of lights on the lower Elbe at 8.4 kilometers.
Access to the lighthouse interior includes a helix staircase leading to the top floor, with remote operation from Seemanshöft Pilot Centre.
The foundation extends 10 meters below water through a concrete caisson structure, supporting the tower 30 meters from the shoreline.
