"The signal station was built in 1886. It served for communication with warships anchored off the harbor, meaning they were not entering the port. Flags could be attached to the flagpoles, and information could be exchanged using a flag alphabet. Today, the Wilhelmshaven Waterways and Shipping Authority monitors the safety of shipping on the Jade estuary from here."*
