Leuchtturm Wustrow

The modern lighthouse stands 8 meters tall on the pier of Wustrow, featuring a red and white daylight marking visible from the Baltic Sea.

The original Wustrow lighthouse operated from 1911 to 2014, starting as a steam-powered fog horn station before being converted to electrical operation in 1922.

The Förderverein Nebelstation Wustrow association formed in 2014 to preserve maritime heritage and establish a museum dedicated to the original lighthouse.

The current lighthouse guides maritime traffic with a beam reaching 24.1 kilometers across the Baltic Sea, marking a sector from 024° to 204° degrees.

The new tubular mast lighthouse replaced the historic square tower in 2014 due to coastal protection requirements and stands 75 meters from the pier head.
