About Andershof Oberfeuer Lighthouse
The Andershof Oberfeuer, built in 1937, is a square skeletal steel tower standing 15 meters tall, painted with red and white horizontal bands. It is located 440 meters south-southwest of its paired front light, forming a navigational range for westbound vessels. The light emits a green occulting flash every 6 seconds from a focal height of 39 meters, with a geographic range of 16.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. This structure functions as the rear light for a range assisting navigation in the waters near Stralsund.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for westbound shipping, providing precise guidance as the rear light of a navigational range. Its unique feature is the huge pentagonal daymark, painted white with a red border, which enhances its visibility and distinctiveness for mariners.
