Warnemünde Lighthouse & Teepott
Leuchtturm Warnemünde / Teepott
A white lighthouse from 1898 stands by the sea alongside the “Teapot,” a hyperbolic-roofed building from the East German era. From the top of the lighthouse you can see the beach, the breakwater, and cruise ships entering port.
The lighthouse stands about 37 meters tall and was built in 1898. Climb its 135 steps for views over the wide Warnemünde beach, the West Breakwater, and the harbor channel. The arrival and departure of cruise ships is especially impressive. Next to it, the “Teepott” (Teapot) is a building completed in 1968 with a hyperbolic thin-shell roof. It now houses a restaurant. Every New Year's Day, the lighthouse hosts a “lighthouse fireworks” event. Climbing the lighthouse requires a small fee, and it can be combined with a visit to the beach and the old riverbed.
