Wustrow Lighthouse

The brick lighthouse stands at coordinates 54.33578 latitude and 12.37584 longitude, providing navigational guidance along the Baltic Sea coastline.

Constructed in 1933 to replace earlier navigational aids, the Wustrow Lighthouse maintained active service until its retirement in 2014.

The brick structure represents maritime traditions of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania while serving as a central point for community gatherings near the Baltic Sea.

Located 11 meters above sea level, the lighthouse operated with a range of 13 nautical miles and displayed a light characteristic of Oc(3) W 12s.

Following increased flood risks in 2013, authorities replaced the traditional lighthouse structure with a new navigational mast system.
