The Friedrichsort Lighthouse is a distinctive maritime landmark on the Kiel Fjord, guiding ships safely through one of northern Germany’s busiest waterways. Built in 1866 and later modernized, it is notable for its cylindrical concrete tower painted in green and white, a design that makes it instantly recognizable from land and sea. Positioned on a small island near the district of Friedrichsort, the lighthouse has long served as a vital navigation aid for vessels entering and leaving the port of Kiel. Beyond its practical function, it has become a symbol of the city’s seafaring tradition and a popular subject for photographers and visitors exploring the fjord. Its setting offers sweeping views of passing ships, the coastline, and the open Baltic, making the Friedrichsort Lighthouse both a working beacon and a cultural icon of Kiel’s maritime heritage.
