Leuchtturm Gellen, Lighthouse on Insel Hiddensee, Germany.
The Gellen Lighthouse stands 12 meters tall on the southern part of Insel Hiddensee, featuring a white tower shaft with red gallery and lantern.
Built in 1905 by Julius Pintsch company from Berlin, the lighthouse commenced operations in September 1907 after extensive material transportation to the island.
The lighthouse appears on numerous postcards throughout history and was featured on an emergency banknote from the Rügen district.
The lighthouse produces white, red, and green lights visible up to 15 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the Baltic Sea navigation routes.
Remains of an older 14th-century lighthouse become visible during low tide along the western coast of Gellen peninsula.
