Olhörn Lighthouse

The tower is located in the southeast of the marshland island of Föhr in the district of the city of Wyk auf Föhr in the district of North Friesland. It stands on a ridge of a rather low height above the south beach of Wyk near the Kurmittelhaus.

Instead of a beacon built in 1892, today's tower was built in 1952. He has a height of about eight meters; the height of the fire is 10 meters above MThw. The tower has an almost square floor plan and consists of a solid wall, which is clad with a red-brown brick facade. [1] [2] The white lacquered metal lantern with the look rises above the accessible platform. The tower, which has been remote-controlled since 1980, has the function of a cross-brand fire and is used to navigate shipping in the Norderaue between the mainland port of Dagebüll and the islands of Föhr and Amrum. It is therefore a sea mark and (due to its rather low height) is also a landmark on the island to a limited extent.

The Föhrer lighthouse "Olhörn" from 1952 is not particularly impressive with its fire height of 10 meters, but it fulfilled its requirements.
