Warnemünde lighthouse

Warnemünde lighthouse
The Warnemünde lighthouse is 31 meters high and made of white glazed bricks. The tower's galleries offer a magnificent panoramic view of Warnemünde, the Baltic Sea and the beach. Built in 1897/98 as a sea mark, it not only helps ships on their way into the harbor, but has also become the landmark of the seaside resort. At the foot of the lighthouse stands the Teepott, a round building with a curved roof, which was built in 1967/68. Cafés and restaurants offer a unique view of the beach and sea. The tower is decoratively designed with multi-colored veneer. It was built in 1897/98 and is said to have cost 95,000 marks at the time. Today, the Warnemünde Lighthouse Association looks after the landmark.

Warnemünde lighthouse - 31 meters high above the Baltic Sea

The Warnemünde lighthouse is one of the most famous landmarks on the German Baltic Sea coast in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The 31-metre-high tower made of white glazed bricks was built in 1897/98 as a sea mark and is said to have cost around 95,000 marks at the time. With its multi-colored facing, it is not only a functional navigation aid for incoming ships, but also an architectural gem on the beach of Warnemünde.

A panoramic view of Warnemünde, the beach and the Baltic Sea from the gallery

The galleries of the lighthouse offer an impressive panoramic view of the Baltic seaside resort of Warnemünde, the long sandy beach and the open Baltic Sea. Anyone exploring the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - whether from Rostock, on the way to Rügen or along Fischland-Darß-Zingst - will hardly be able to avoid this vantage point. Today, the Warnemünde Lighthouse Association looks after the well-maintained landmark.

Right next to the lighthouse is the Teepott, a striking round building with a characteristically curved roof, which was built in 1967/68. Cafés and restaurants in the Teepott offer visitors an exceptional view of the beach and sea - an ideal place to take a break before continuing on to the sea promenade or a day trip from Rostock to the coastal region.
