The lighthouse was built in the Second World War as a flak tower or flak control station and was put into operation as a new lighthouse in 1952 as a replacement for the old lighthouse destroyed in the war.
The tower has the strongest beacon on German lighthouses, which can be seen from a distance of 28 nautical miles on a clear night
(Wikipedia)

The Helgoland lighthouse is operated by the Tönning Waterways and Shipping Office.
