Wustrow Lighthouse

Wustrow Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Wustrow, Germany.

Wustrow Lighthouse was a square brick tower eight metres high with a gallery, built onto the north corner of a fog-signal station about two kilometres southwest of Wustrow's centre. Its unpainted red-brick shaft carried a white lantern with a red dome. The tower was demolished in spring 2016; a tubular mast on the pier now carries the sector light.

The structure was built in 1933 to replace earlier navigational aids at this location. The lighthouse remained in operation until 2014, when it was eventually replaced by modern navigation systems.

The fog station's steam siren, approved in 1910 and audible up to six nautical miles, gave the site its local name Nebelstation Wustrow. A support association founded on 17 April 2014 tried to save the building as a museum; it was dissolved in 2026 and is in liquidation. The lantern was dismantled on 23 April 2014 and stored at the Stralsund waterways office.

The site lies about two kilometres southwest of Wustrow's centre, on the dike line that was straightened after the 2016 demolition. The replacement sector light stands on the Wustrow pier, an eight-metre tubular mast that took over the signal on 2 April 2014. The old lantern was dismantled on 23 April 2014 and stored at the Stralsund waterways office.

The foghorn was decommissioned in 1987, seven years before the light itself went dark. The building was not listed as a historic monument, so a support association founded on 17 April 2014 could not save it; it was demolished in spring 2016 and the dike line straightened.
