Lighthouses from Germany


This port lighthouse stood on the head of the north mole, the entrance to the Geeste. In the night from August 17 to 18, 2022, the head of the north mole in Bremerhaven sagged and the lighthouse on it got into an extremely dangerous lopsided position. There was a risk that he would fall over completely, so the structure was completely demolished by the end of 2022. The tower is to be rebuilt true to the original as part of the new construction of the pier.



This is the Kleiner Preuße ('Little Prussian') lighthouse at the harbour in Wremen (North Sea). Actually, it is a replica of the original dismantled in 1930. The sender wrote that people can get married in the lighthouse. 

Lighthouses on Lower Saxony's North Sea coast, including Helgoland, located on Germany's only offshore island. It was constructed during World War II as an anti-aircraft tower, and turned into a lighthouse in 1952.

The stamp was issued on 6 July 2023.
