About Peez Oberfeuer Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower, built of steel and standing 33 meters tall, was first lit in 1984. It is painted white and features a red triangular daymark with the point facing down. The rear range light is located in a field 450 meters east of its front light, helping to establish a clear navigational line. Its operational light emits an occulting white flash every 4 seconds, with a focal height of 35 meters. The geographic range of the light is 16.2 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, Peez Oberfeuer works with a front light to define a specific channel, guiding vessels safely. Its distinctive daymark also aids navigation during daylight.
