The Kiel Fjord has its bottleneck at the location of the lighthouse Friedrichsort with a width of approx. 1.9 km. Seagoing ships from the Kiel Canal with a length of 235 m or a width of up to 32.5 m and even larger ships that call at the port of Kiel operate here - including impressive passenger and cruise ships that come in every time Become part of the maritime cityscape of Kiel.

The Friedrichsorter Enge has been fired since 1815. First there was a lighthouse on the Prince George Bastion of the old fortress. In 1853 an iron beacon was built on the offshore sandbank, which was destroyed by ice in 1864. This lighthouse was rebuilt in 1866. In 1889 the fire was raised to a height of around 14.5 m and received the large lantern for the 1936 Olympics. After more than 100 years, the tower was replaced by a “new” lighthouse in Friedrichsort, just a few meters from the previous location. The remains of the old lighthouse can still be seen today. After the new tower was put into operation on October 29, 1971, the large lantern was again taken over by the city of Kiel for an Olympics in Germany and set up in the city center at the old boat harbor. The “new” lighthouse Friedrichsort was equipped with a fog fire in 1990. The 31.7 m high structure is a round white reinforced concrete tower with a green and white banded gallery.

The Friedrichsort lighthouse continues to provide shipping with reliable information for navigation. The lighthouse is remotely controlled and remotely monitored and equipped with redundant systems.
