The lighthouse Knock is certainly one of the most unusual fire carriers on Germany's shores. The gray building was built in 1966 after several years of construction primarily as a control center for the radar chain of the Emsschifffahrt and is therefore dominated by a large radar on the top of the 55 -meter-high building. The actual monitoring center is located in the large sweeping floor in the lower third. On the roof of the headquarters is then also the actual beacon at a height of 29 m, which in turn a rotating radar antenna was placed.

The tower, which looks unusual as a lighthouse, has several functions: it serves as a beacon, as a radar and radio tower and as the Ems traffic center for monitoring navigation on the Ems (Wikipedia).

Great lighthouse with an interesting information booth. Besides, the view here is of course also a dream.
