About Büsum Ostmole Lighthouse
Also known as: Südmole, lantern
This lantern structure, built in 1929, marks the entrance to Büsum harbor on Germany's North Sea coast. It stands on the Ostmole, or East Mole, and is painted white with a green band encircling the window. The lighthouse formerly guided vessels, including fishing boats and pleasure craft, into the busy port. Visitors can access the site to view the structure, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Its presence continues to overlook the harbor entrance.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was essential for directing fishing trawlers and tourist vessels into Büsum harbor, a significant port on Germany's North Sea coast. It marked the entrance channel, safeguarding ships from the shallow waters and dynamic sandbanks prevalent in the Wadden Sea.
