About Großer Vogelsand Lighthouse
Also known as: Großer Vogelsand (upper section relocated to Bremerhaven)
This 16-sided steel tower, constructed in 1975, measures 15 meters in height with its light positioned 39 meters above sea level. Its light provides a geographic range of 16.9 nautical miles. The structure, painted red with a white horizontal band, includes a helipad. In December 2008, its upper section was detached. By 2010, the tower had been moved to Bremerhaven and integrated into the Havenhostel Nordwest.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's adaptation as part of a hostel in Bremerhaven demonstrates a novel method for safeguarding maritime industrial history, enabling public interaction with its past.
