Location & Light Range
About Hohen Wieschendorf Oberfeuer Lighthouse
Constructed in 1971, the Hohen Wieschendorf Oberfeuer is a square, concrete skeletal tower reaching 19 meters in height. It supports a white triangular daymark oriented with the point downwards. The light station's origins date to 1938, with the present tower and illumination system installed in 1971. The light's focal plane is 39 meters above sea level, producing an occulting white flash every 4 seconds (Oc W 4s). The light is visible for a distance of 16.9 nautical miles. Public access is permitted to the site, but the tower remains inaccessible.
Why it matters: This lighthouse functions as part of a range system, providing navigation aid for vessels navigating the entrance to Wismar's port and adjacent waterways. Its unique daymark aids in visual identification during daylight hours.
