This square skeletal tower, constructed of steel and standing 16 meters tall, was first lit in 1938. It carries a white triangular daymark, pointed upwards, and is situated on a point of land at Hohen Wieschendorf. The structure has a focal height of 19 meters and emits a white light that flashes once every 4 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 12.9 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It functions as the front range light for the approach to Wismar.
