ZL049 LIGHTHOUSE SASSNITZ SKALA 1:72

The Sassnitz lighthouse is located on the coast of the island of Rügen on the Baltic Sea in the eastern part of the modern Federal Republic of Germany in the federal state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern The lighthouse is placed atypically, as it is located at the end of a 1500-meter pier at the entrance to the port. The building was erected in 1903, but its present appearance is the result of many modernizations. Currently, the lighthouse lantern is 15 meters above sea level. The lighthouse tower is octagonal and made of stainless steel. In modern times, the lantern is painted with large white and green stripes. One of the main goals of the creation and subsequent modernization of the lighthouse in Sassnitz was to increase the safety of navigation on the route to and from Trelleborg, which is approximately 100 kilometers away.
