Heiligenhafen lighthouse

The brick lighthouse stands 13 meters tall on the Baltic Sea coast, providing navigational guidance with white, red, and green light signals every 9 seconds.

Built in 1885 with an initial light on a fish packing house, the current stone tower was constructed in 1938 following a fire in 1907.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Heiligenhafen, emerging from the local fishing community's need for safe harbor navigation.

Located at coordinates 54.367167 latitude and 11.02133 longitude, the lighthouse guides vessels through the Baltic Sea waters and into the harbor.

The lighthouse features specific color sectors: green for degrees 100-206, white for 206-212, and red for 212-250, creating distinct navigation zones.
