A colorful lighthouse on the shores of the North Sea, one of the symbols of East Frisia, a historical area in Germany. Сome here on a sunny day, the green grass cover and the blue sky will create the perfect colors. Though we arrived at sunset and the sceenery was also beautiful.

The lighthouse was built in 1891 and was in operation until 1915, when it was extinguished during the First World War. After that, it was no longer in use, since the shipping routes changed due to sandbanks.

In 1972, the demolition of the lighthouse was planned, but the decision was changed and instead a complete reconstruction was held. The lighthouse got it's modern colors - yellow and red stripes. Now it is mainly a tourist attraction, but sometimes weddings are held here.
