The Grünendeich upper light was commissioned on January 1, 1900. The red and white striped, hexagonal steel lattice tower with a central tube and round lantern stands in the small village of Grünendeich on Kirchenstieg, 1546 meters from the Lühe lower light. A spiral staircase inside the central stairwell leads to the lantern room. Beneath the lantern are the former fuel storage room and the keeper's room. Until 1982, the tower also had a cross-range light. The light system was modernized in September 1994 with the installation of a searchlight optic. The upper light had a range of 21.8 nautical miles. The Grünendeich upper light, together with the Lühe lower light, forms the longest leading line on the Elbe River, at 8140 meters.

It is located on the Lower Saxon Elbe River, at Kirchenstieg Grünendeich. Geographical position: Latitude: 53° 34′ N Longitude: 009° 38′ E Height of the light support (east-to-ground): 39.2 m Nominal range (east-to-ground): 21 nautical miles Height of the light (east-to-ground): 35.6 m A visit is highly recommended and interesting 👍🏻.

Designed by the Hamburg architect J. H. Hartje, the 39.16-meter-high Grünendeich Lighthouse was built in 1899 on a massive hexagonal stone base supported by piles. It served as the upper light for the Lühe-Grünendeich leading line. Access to the lantern of the steel lattice tower is via a central stairwell braced with hip rafters. The two floors below the lantern housed the fuel storage and the keeper's room. The light, with a 300 mm Fresnel lens, was initially powered by a peroleum gas incandescent burner. A liquid gas burner was installed in 1926, followed by an incandescent lamp in 1927, but the gas incandescent burner remained in place as a backup. Connection to the local electricity grid was also completed in 1927. The Grünendeich upper light incorporates two lights: one shining upstream and the other downstream. In September 1928, the tower, which had been white since 1899, was adorned with five red stripes running around its circumference. A visit is highly recommended.

A great short hiking trail with a great view of the small harbor and the surrounding area.

Beautiful traditional half-timbered houses can be found in the Altes Land region. Excellent cycling and hiking trails lead through the area, surrounded by beautiful nature.

This is what defines the Altes Land: Fruit growing and shipping. The proximity to the Elbe River and the metropolis of Hamburg has shaped the Altes Land for centuries. Whether in spring during cherry blossom season or in summer and autumn during harvest time, visitors can discover a wealth of attractions here. Above all, the enchanting landscape, as well as cultural events and its sights, from the lighthouse to the Arp Schnitger organ. The Altes Land is a wonderful and unique region. It stretches from the outskirts of Hamburg for over 30 km south of the Elbe to the Hanseatic city of Stade. The area encompasses the entire municipality of Jork, the collective municipality of Lühe, and the Neu Wulmstorf district of Rübke in Lower Saxony, as well as the Hamburg districts of Neuenfelde, C.ranz, and Francop. The Elbe's tributaries—the Schwinge, the Lühe, and the Este—divide the Altes Land into three sections: the first, second, and third mile from west to east.

A winter hike along the Lühe dike and landing stage is highly recommended and interesting 👍🏻. Especially when it's below freezing 🌡️, it's fascinating to admire the ice floes on the banks of the Elbe.
