Eckwarden rear range light

The Eckwarden rear range light stands 45 meters tall, constructed from cast iron to guide vessels through the Jade Bight waters of the North Sea.

Built in 1962, this navigational structure operated continuously for maritime guidance until its retirement from active service in 2010.

The lighthouse represents German coastal engineering excellence and forms part of the regional maritime navigation system along the Lower Saxony shoreline.

Located at coordinates 53.5210213, 8.2324795, the lighthouse emits white flashes every three seconds with a visibility range of 21 nautical miles.

This cast iron structure functions in tandem with a front range light positioned in Solthörn shallows to create precise navigation channels for vessels.
