The Heligoland Lighthouse stands on Heligoland, Germany's only offshore island in the North Sea. Built in 1941 as a wartime anti-aircraft tower, it was converted into a lighthouse in 1952. Constructed of reinforced concrete and brick and rising 35 metres, it carries the strongest light on the German North Sea coast, with a range of 28 nautical miles. It is a heritage monument in Schleswig-Holstein.
