About Gelbsand Oberfeuer Lighthouse
This cylindrical tower, 53 meters in height, was erected in 2010 and began operation that same year. It is painted with black and white horizontal bands and includes a gallery. The light's focal height is 50 meters, offering a geographic range of 18.7 nautical miles. The light shows a white flash every 4 seconds. Public access is permitted to the site, but the tower remains inaccessible.
Why it matters: This structure functions as the upper component of a navigational range, aligning with a lower light to direct ships through a defined channel.
