Lighthouse Ranzow on Rügen island in October 2001. On the way along the steep
bank from Lohme to the Königstuhl ("kings chair" - a chalk rock) you pass close to the
little iron tower. This tower was built by the firm Pintsch and has an identically constructed
neighbour, at Kollicker Ort, some kilometres to the south west.
The tower was removed in 2002. In October 2003 began the rebuilding in Arkona as part of an exhibition.
