Roter Sand - this name stands for a very special lighthouse in the North Sea. When it was completed in 1885, it was considered the first offshore structure in the world. A technical and structural masterpiece and today a listed building, honored as a historic landmark of engineering in Germany. Washed by water, the red and white sections mark the five floors. For 101 years and 11 days the lighthouse was in operation and still fascinates people with its special appearance and history.

The lighthouse Tinsdal spans a height of 42 meters. It is one of the oldest steel lighthouses and has been doing its duty on the Elbe in Hamburg since 1900. Since 2004, this impressive red and white construction has been listed as a historic monument and in 2021 a matching stamp was issued by Deutsche Post.

The lighthouse in Moritzburg is an inland lighthouse in Saxony. The tower was built in the late 18th century as part of a backdrop for re-enacted naval battles. It is the only lighthouse in Germany built for this purpose and a popular photo motif. The lighthouse reaches a total height of 21.8 meters. A steel spiral staircase leads up 74 steps to the lamp house.

The lighthouse Schleimünde with its 14.3 meters height serves the ships as approach and orientation light for the entrance between the Baltic Sea and the mouth of the Schlei. Over the years, the tower has been constantly remodeled . It got repainted 7 times in the last 150 years. In 2014, the lighthouse got its current green ribbon on a white background. On July 2, 2020 a special stamp "Lighthouse Schleimünde" was issued.
