The Eckernförde lighthouse (port) is a beacon for the control of the Eckernförde city port.
Old lighthouse
At the same time as the beacon on the Klintbarg , a lighthouse was also built at the city harbor in 1907 . When another marina was built , the twelve-meter-high concrete tower had to be replaced by a new beacon in 1981. The building was handed over to the city of Eckernförde and included in the list of cultural monuments . To distinguish it from the active beacon, the tower was painted in the Eckernförde coat of arms colors. For the construction of the Hafenspitze building in the 2010s, the lighthouse was moved a few meters.
New lighthouse
Today's harbor lighthouse was built in 1981 on the pier of the new marina. The 10.5 m high tower made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic stands on a platform founded on piles. The light source consists of a 230 V / 40 watt incandescent lamp and a Fresnel lens . The identifier is generated electronically and the range of the fire is up to six nautical miles (about eleven kilometers).
The fully automated lighthouse is from the Water and Shipping Authority Luebeck entertained by Lighthouse Eckernförde controlled and the traffic control center in Travemünde monitored.
