    The Pilsum lighthouse became particularly well-known through the film "Otto - Der Ausserfriesische" by comedian Otto Waalkes. In the film, Otto had his apartment here. At 14 meters high, the Pilsum lighthouse is the smallest, but for the reasons mentioned above it is also the most famous lighthouse in Germany. Civil weddings have also been held here since 2004. A midsummer night's wedding or a candlelight dinner can also be enjoyed here with a view of the East Frisian Wadden Sea. However: Always book in good time, because the married people crowd here and the space is not exactly lush with a few square meters.

      Is it worth it? It's just a lighthouse, like the ones you see on many coasts in many countries. But anyone who knows Otto Waalkes will have come across the striped sock lighthouse in his silly films. That's why it's so famous. And since Otto is from East Frisia, he simply marked a local landmark.
