New lighthouse Wangerooge in December 2003. The red-white steel concrete tower, which has a wainscoting of aluminium,
stands on 24 piles, which are 13 metres long and have a diameter of 50 cm.
The building of the new lighthouse was necessary with the development of the Jade as a sea way for big tankers which unships
in Wilhelmshaven.
The lower picture shows a view from the east of the island of Spiekeroog into direction Wangerooge.
