    The old lighthouse Travemünde is the oldest lighthouse in Germany.
    It was first mentioned in documents in 1330.
    In 1534, Danish troops destroyed the tower.
    In 1539, Dutch bricklayers built the current lighthouse.
    The beacon was probably initially operated as an open wood fire, later with hemp oil lamps in front of gilded concave mirrors.
    The upper part of the tower burnt down in 1827 after a lightning strike.
    It was renovated in the classical style and provided with kerosene lamps.
    Starting from 1903 electric arc lamps shone, starting from 1937 incandescent lamps.
