Wustrow Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Wustrow, Germany.
Description
Wustrow Lighthouse is a brick structure located along the Baltic Sea coast in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The building stands on a coastal elevation and was originally equipped with optical systems to guide ships navigating the waters offshore.
History
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.
Culture
The brick structure has become a local landmark that draws visitors interested in maritime history and coastal heritage. Many residents view it as a symbol of their community's connection to the Baltic Sea and its traditions as a port town.
Practical
The location is easily reached from the coastal road and offers views across the Baltic Sea. Visitors can view the building from outside and explore the surrounding landscape, particularly on clearer days.
Did you know?
Following flood risks in 2013, the building was replaced by a modern navigation mast, which ended its original service role. Today the old structure stands as a historical marker of how shipping technology has changed over time.
