The octagonal cross- branding Rotes Kliff is located at the northern end of the Rote Kliff northwest of Kampen on the island of Sylt . The occasionally used designation lighthouse Rotes Kliff for the cross-brand fire is misleading, as the same name was also used for the lighthouse Kampen until 1975 .

history
The lighthouse was built in 1912 and 1913 as a cross- mark fire to warn of a sandbank in the entrance to Lister Tief in order to have a supplement for the main fire ( Kampen ). The brick-built tower, commissioned in 1913, is the earliest concrete tower on German coasts. It is about 2.5 km northwest of the Kampen lighthouse. The fire was electrified in 1936. Until the tower was shut down in 1974, the fire was monitored by the beacon keepers of the large tower in Kampen. After the beacon was extinguished, the beacon in Kampen took over its task with a red sector. Without the beacon device and only as a daytime marker , the tower is now owned and maintained by the municipality of Kampen. The tower was restored from 1993 to 1994. Another renovation took place in 2012. The building in the dunes is illuminated at night.
