The Dahmeshöved lighthouse has once again been the destination of our little hike. Those who wish can get married here or take a tour during opening hours. The lighthouse has been working "fully automatically" since 1978, and unfortunately, the dream job of lighthouse keeper is now a thing of the past.

Dahmeshöved Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Nice lighthouse between Dahme and Kellenhusen. Can be approached either on a walk or a bike ride.

The Dahmeshöved lighthouse stands on a coastal promontory about halfway between Fehmarn and Travemünde.

The octagonal tower was built entirely from bricks in 1878 and 1879. It is 28.8 meters high, which means that the beacon is 33.7 meters above sea level.

The neighboring smaller brick tower was built in 1939 to give the lighthouse keeper an opportunity to monitor the visibility.

During the German-German division, the Dahmeshöved lighthouse had a special meaning for the GDR citizens, because it was a point of reference when escaping across the Baltic Sea as the so-called "light of freedom".

Those who are more interested in the lighthouse can also visit it with an expert guide. The opening times - in the season from April to October - are: Sunday to Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every half hour.

October 15, 2021,Letzte Dahmer Morgentour für dieses Jahr

The last morning round this year in Dahme. In my imagination this played out wonderfully:
Bright sunshine, the streets were flagged, Dahmer & Dahmerinnen cheer me enthusiastically with flags on the roadside and flower girls throw flowers on my way. At the local baker's, the mayor personally hands me the bread bag and says a few warm words. The Tambourcorps …
