Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Greifswalder Oie
The small isle on the eastern part of the bank, which separates Greifswalder Bodden from the Baltic Sea, is about 2 km long and 600 m broad. Its coasts rise up to 15 m out of the water, but that about 2 NM for a long time southwestward been situated Oie reef with large stones and water depths between 1,1 and 3 m represents a large danger for the sailor.
Sassnitz
From a small Fisher place on the island Ruegen developed to an important Faerhafen for the train ferry connection to Scandinavia. 1901 took place the accommodation of the constant Faehrverbindung after Trelleborg, the " KING LINE ". Thus Sassnitz became the gate to Scandinavia with the shortest connection to Sweden.

Since 1998 took place with the line-up of the new Faehrhafenterminals in the former Faehrhafen Mukran renaming in Faehrhafen Sassnitz and is thereby the most modern railway Faehrhafen at the German Baltic Sea coast.

Also the steeped in tradition " KING LINE " moved from too close the Sassnitz city port become.
Cape Arkona
On the island Ruegen find you in the northernmost section on the coast the Cape Arkona lighthouses. Who more over it experienced would like please to the lighthouse here and there along.
Dornbusch
On the island Hiddensee find you in the northern section on the steilkueste the Dornbusch lighthouse. Who more over it experienced would like please to the lighthouse here or to island Hiddensee there along.
Gellen
Gellen on the island Hiddensee is in the southern section on the narrow end the beacon Gellen for the north control to the Baltic Sea port of the Hanseatic city Stralsund.
Darsser Ort
Ship stranding were to for instance in the middle 19. Century at the point of the Darsser Ort not unusually. Incalculable modifications of the bottom of the sea formed the cause, and a salient orienting point was missing. Nature lets new ground almost visibly develop there still today: Which the sea at the Fischland or at the west coast of the Darss away-tears, she deposits with Darsser Ort again.
Warnemuende
Sand banks made the delta of the river Warnow and thus the approach road to the port of Rostock always difficult and therefore a light and a developed pilot nature necessary. First referring to a fire for shipping we find in the old documents of the city from that to 13. Century. Who more of the lighthouse to see would like please here along.
Buk
The desire of the nautics to close the gap in the lightning of the coast was understandable. Thus it came that the lighthouse served Timmendorf with its constant guidance fire starting from 1872 the entrance to Wismar, and the building of lighthouses on `Bukow ' - with Bastorf in the proximity of the Baltic Sea bath Kuehlungsborn - began. The red light is to warn the ships in the Mecklenburger bay before the threatening approximation to the shallowness of the Wismar bay.
Timmendorf
Coming from the Mecklenburger bay, the travel of the ships passes to the Hanseatic city Wismar the shallow place Hannibal and Lieps (starboard) and the islands Poel and Walfisch (port side). This acces becomes at night secured by leuchttonnen, arranging and guidance fire nautically. The most salient navigation aid thereby is the Timmendorf lighthouse with the place of the same name at the west page of the island Poel.

Tavemuende
Already since 1226 a navigation mark is proven in Travemuende.On the northern mole by a interesting beacon the in and run out ship the input in the Trave delta point. From 1539 to 1972 the probably most meaning historical lighthouse building in the city performed its service.
Pelzerhaken
Neustadt in Holstein begins for the sailor in Pelzerhaken. There a lighthouse is since 1843. Until 1864 Neustadt was the southernmost Baltic Sea port of the Danish monarchy.
Dahmeshoeved
The Dahmeshoeved lighthouse and a no longer used naval observation tower are to a Hoeved on a height, as it is called coming from Danish time. 1880 took up the lighthouse its company and provided thereby between Fehmarn and Travemuende for a safe navigation.
Staberhuk
The Staberhuk lighthouse in the southeast of the island Fehmarn shows its fire on the point of land Staberhuk with 22 m height since 1904.
Marienleuchte
With Puttgarden on Fehmarn are on the Ohlenburgshuk two lighthouses with same name: Marienleuchte. The old was shut down 1967, the new steel tower is an important navigation aid in the Fehmarnbelt.
Westermarkelsdorf
The Westermarkelsdorf lighthouse is with its tower height of only 17 meters modestly however a very important signpost/guide in the Fehmarnbelt. It was established to 1881 to the Markelsdorfer Huk in the northwest of the island Fehmarn.
Fluegge
The Fluegge lighthouse at the southwest Huk of the island Fehmarn is almost identically constructed and since 1916 in operation with the Neuland lighthouse.
Heiligenhafen
The small Heiligenhafen lighthouse with its white lantern protects the entry to the port between the mainland and Graswarder sand. For the adjoining owners and guests in the Marina an important starting point into the western Baltic Sea.
Neuland
With the establishment of a sector fire at the Hohwachter bay on the Neuland lighthouse since 1918 a navigation mark gap between the Kieler Foerde and the Fehmarnsund was closed.
Kiel
The Kiel lighthouse replaces the light ship " Kiel " since 1967 as navigation mark and pilot station.
Kiel-Holtenau
The Kiel-Holtenau lighthouse is at the north side as mole fire at the entry to the North- Baltic- Sea channel and is at the same time monument in the inside with the three-emperor memory hall.
Friedrichsort
Since 1815 port in a sand bank before the Kiel port, which beacons Friedrichsorter Enge, a lighting up beacon, becomes. The small predecessor of 1866 was replaced 1971 by this metal tower.
Buelk
As direction and transverse label fire the lighthouse marks the transient area of the Kieler Foerde north at the beach of the Buelker Huk to the Kieler bay.
Schleimuende
By two moles the 1796 terminated puncture to the river Schlei, the today's delta of the Schlei, against sand silting protected.
Falshoeft
The Falshoeft lighthouse, in the south of the entry to the Flensburger Foerde inserts itself very delightfully into the landscape at the northern Baltic Sea.
