The first beacon was erected in 1872 on a three meter high wooden frame. An iron lantern house followed in 1896, which was replaced by today's concrete tower in 1935. Its beacon was equipped with a liquid gas light. In 1954, electrification took place using a 40 W incandescent lamp. A halogen incandescent lamp has served as a light source since 2000, and the lamp changing device also contains five replacement lamps.
The small Strukkamphuk lighthouse, only five meters high, is located on the west side of Fehmarn near the Fehmarnsund passage, about two kilometers north of the Fehmarnsund Bridge, which connects the island to the mainland. It was built entirely of concrete in 1934/35 and put into operation in January 1935.
The lighthouse can be reached by bike either from the town of Fehmarnsund along the coastal path or from Strukkamp via the campsite (free passage to the beach and the lighthouse). The lighthouse itself is not open to the public.
