Title: Two unknown lights on Hiddensee island, Germany.
Post by: kwolfgang on December 18, 2016, 10:28:56 AM

Last year I took a picture of two lights located on the east side of the island Hiddensee, Germany. The front light is located on a small island east of Hiddensee, called ferry island (Fährinsel).
The exact position is:
Front light: N54,54848 E013,12390
Rear light: N54,54755 E013,11406
I assume that these lights are no longer active, but it would be interesting to collect technical information and registration numbers.

Thanks
Klaus

Hi Klaus,
I have gained the same experience! My picture I have made from the Poggenhof Lights, but either Alex Trabas nor Erich Hartmann mention the lights. I will write Erich Hartmann. Maybe he can help! ;)

Laut OpenSeamap ist der Turm im Hintergrund die ehemalige Oberbake "Gellen". Den Turm im Vordergrund habe ich auch mal fotografiert, weil ich dachte es wäre ein Leuchtfeuer. Es ist aber nur ein Tageslichtzeichen. Ein Stück weiter westlich steht die dazugehörige Oberbake, ebenfalls unbeleuchtet.

Short transaltion, background Oberbake "Gellen", all other towers are unlit, daymarks!
The miracle is solved! :D
