    It is 28.4 m high and used to be a nautical sign for ships, but since 1878 it has lost its importance with the permanent operation of a lightship, since 1913 in the city's coat of arms, owned by Cuxhaven since 2002, currently a tourist attraction. good place to observe incoming and outgoing ships, it marks the border between inland waters Elbe and North Sea, the Elbe estuary is here to Schleswig-Holstein 18 km wide, but the fairway only 800 m.

      The Kugelbake is a wooden navigation mark in Cuxhaven. Measured from the middle Tidehochwasser to the middle of the small ball their height is 28.4 m. The term bake goes back to the Middle Ages, in which all the navigational signs - including lighthouses - were so named. It is the landmark of Cuxhaven and depicted since 1913 in the coat of arms of the city. An earlier building still served as a lighthouse; Today, the Kugelbake is illuminated only at night as a tourist attraction. It forms the seaward boundary of the Elbe, so the end of the Binnenelbe after the Federal Waterways Act.
