About Gollwitz West Lighthouse
The Gollwitz West lighthouse, built in 1995, is a 21-meter tall white skeletal tower constructed of steel. It features a gallery and guides vessels departing Wismar. This structure, located about 200 meters west of the original lighthouse, aids navigation through a west-to-east channel jog. Its light displays white, red, or green, with an occulting characteristic of one color every 5 seconds. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels departing Wismar, providing precise directional guidance through a specific west-to-east channel jog.
