Tips

At the end of the 19th century, three new beacons were erected at the mouth of the Elbe. The front light also called the "slender Anna", with its two front lights in Altenbruch (Big Berta) and Neufeld Deich. They should guide seafarers safely through the difficult Elbe fairway. Modern navigation technology replaced the three beacons at the end of the 20th century and thus led to the fires going out. However, a citizens' initiative prevented the demolition of Fat Berta, whose steel body was actually supposed to be scrapped. Unfortunately, her sisters, the lower light in Neufeld and the upper light "slender Anna" in Groden, were not so lucky (source: cuxland.de/poi Leuchtturm-dicke-berta).

The "new" slim Anna was built in 1971 and is not in Altenbruch but in Cuxhaven Groden, near the B73. It is 59 meters high and a concrete tower. A detour there is worthwhile, because if you see one lighthouse, you should also look at the second.
