About Bessiner Haken Oberfeuer Lighthouse
This square, skeletal concrete tower was built in 1938 and first lit the same year. Standing 18 meters tall, its focal height is 30 meters. The structure features red and white horizontal bands, aiding visibility during the day. Its light emits an occulting white signal, with a 6-second cycle, providing a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located beside a farm road about 4 km northeast of Altefähr. While the site is open, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The Bessiner Haken Oberfeuer is essential for guiding vessels entering the Strelasund from the northwest. It functions as the reverse range for the Bock Range, contributing to the navigation system in this strait.
