Peenemünde lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Peenemünde, Germany

Peenemünde lighthouse is a white tower standing 11 meters tall on Germany's Baltic coast, equipped to send navigational signals in three colors. It sits at the northeastern point of Usedom Island and guides ships through the Peenestrom waters.

The lighthouse stands on an artificial island of concrete and stone piled up at the edge of a shoal off the Peenemünder Haken, built to guide ships into the Peenestrom toward Wolgast, the Peenemünde naval harbour and the Haff ports. It was fully renovated in 2013, and since 2020 the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt Ostsee has been responsible for its maintenance. On 13 May 1975 the Deutsche Post of the GDR issued a 35-pfennig stamp showing the light, designed by Rostock graphic artist Jochen Bertholdt in a print run of two million.

The lighthouse appears on a 1975 DDR postage stamp, part of a series on lighthouses and beacons. The 35-pfennig stamp, designed by Rostock graphic artist Jochen Bertholdt, was printed in two million copies. The tower is reached only by boat, and a landing platform on it serves the maintenance boats.

The lighthouse is not open to the public; access to the tower is possible only by boat, and a landing platform on the tower serves service and technical vessels. The light shows a 6-second interval (1 second light, 5 seconds dark), with a range of 9 nautical miles for white, 6 for red and 5 for green. The light source stands 12 metres above sea level.

This beacon stands where rockets were once developed and tested during wartime, making it a symbol of a place that reinvented itself. Visitors often overlook how the peaceful lighthouse function contrasts sharply with the military research that once dominated this shoreline.
