Description


Map showing the location of Königshafen

The red and white striped lighthouse List Ost stands on the Sylt peninsula , known as the Elbow , and is the second northernmost beacon in Germany after the lighthouse List West . It was built in 1857 and commissioned on January 1, 1858. The tower's fire has been remote-controlled since 1977. Due to its proximity to a steep edge, the List Ost lighthouse was still in danger of falling in 2003, but since around 2007 the coastal erosion of the steep edge has come to a standstill.
