Facts and practical information

The beacon Bunthaus was an orientation light at the Bunthäuser Spitze, the fairway separation of the Elbe into Norder- and Süderelbe, in the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg.

The tower was built in 1913 and began its service in 1914. In March 1977 his fire was extinguished. On March 31, 1977, its function was taken over by two red, two green and one red-green buoy. A water quantity measuring point has been preserved until today.

The green, hexagonal wooden tower with white edge protectors is 6.95 meters high and tapers towards the top. It has an observation deck with white railings, accessed by an iron, nineteen-rung, white exterior staircase. The riveted steel lantern house is red and housed a belt lens with two incandescent lamps that emitted 360° of visible light.

The tower was renovated for the 800th port anniversary of the Port of Hamburg in 1989 and in August 2007, this time by the Stackmeisterei of the Hamburg Port Authority. After an application in 2004, the tower was listed on January 12, 2005.

The small tower at Elbe kilometer 609 has become a landmark of the Elbe island Wilhelmsburg. It can be reached via the Bunthäuser hiking trail.
