Lühe - Lower Light As early as 1868, a harbor light with a sixth-order lens light is said to have stood on the west side of the Lühe estuary. It was a small, round, white tower with a focal height of 36.5 feet and a range of 5 nautical miles. The light shone in all directions out onto the Elbe and the surrounding landscape. Between 1872 and 1873, the Hamburg Senate had five new lighthouses built along the Elbe. Thus, in 1873, a wooden lighthouse with a sixth-order lens and a kerosene lamp as its light source was erected at the Lühe estuary. A leading line was established at Lühe and Grünendeich on the Lower Elbe in 1899. Both of these lights are still standing today. The upper light from this period is still in operation.

A beautiful place in any weather! The large ships look much smaller from a distance, but remain impressive in the heavy traffic on the Elbe.
