Kollicker Ort

HM6H+XP Sassnitz, Germany

Name and Location

The Kollicker Ort Lighthouse is located in Sassnitz, Germany, near the entrance to the Sassnitz Bay.

Construction and History

The exact date of the lighthouse's construction is unknown, but it is believed to have been built in the mid-19th century. The lighthouse has undergone several renovations over the years, with the most significant being a major restoration project in the 1990s.

Architecture and Materials

Standing at an impressive height of 30 meters (98 feet), the lighthouse's tower is topped by a red-painted lantern room housing two lights. The tower itself is made of materials unknown from the provided data, but its striking white and red striped design makes it stand out against the picturesque backdrop of the Baltic Sea.

Light and Navigation

The primary light emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles (18 kilometers). A secondary light, flashing red every 6 seconds, has a range of 7 nautical miles (13 kilometers). The lighthouse is an important aid to navigation, helping ships safely navigate the waters of the Baltic Sea.

Accessibility and Visiting

Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds during daylight hours, but please note that the tower itself is not open to the public due to safety concerns. A nearby museum offers exhibits on the history of the lighthouse and its significance in maritime navigation.
