For me, the new lighthouse is not as nice as the old one, but it is definitely a highlight and a marker on the island. You can see him from many places and as a landmark on the way to the West, he is great!

The new lighthouse Wangerooge is a combined lighthouse and radar tower on the island of Wangerooge. It serves maritime navigation as a sea, guidance and warning fire in the control of Außenjade and Außenweser and traffic safety in this area.

The new lighthouse is functional, but unfortunately it has no charm - the old lighthouse is something special
