Since 1844 there has been a wooden pier on the west pier at the mouth of the Uecker, with a silver-plated parabolic mirror and a single-wick kerosene lamp, which was rebuilt or renewed three times until 1903.
In 1926 a square, white steel lattice beacon with a square platform and round lantern with a conical roof and extractor hood was erected here. A liquefied gas incandescent lamp was used as the light source. In the 1980s, the beacon on the water side was completely lathed up to the top and painted red, with a white horizontal stripe in the middle.
When the old beacon was dismantled in 2000, the lantern was initially stored on the Dänholm at the WSA Stralsund building yard.
Today this maritime monument is located on the new premises of the Waterways and Shipping Administration in Stralsund on Wamper Weg and is often used by WSA employees as a smoking shelter in rainy weather.

Small lighthouse with a panoramic view of the Szczecin Lagoon.From there, you have a beautiful view of Uekermünde Beach (although there is no bridge connecting there).
