Opened in January 1, 1900, the Tinsdal Lighthouse (German: Leuchtturm Tinsdal) forms the Wittenbergen-Tinsdal main light line on the Elbe River in the district of Rissen (Hamburg). It is 16 m (52.49 ft) above sea level and its height is 57.5 m (188.65 ft). The tower has been electrified since 1966 and has been remotely controlled since 1979. In 1988, the light source was again replaced by dual signal lights (2 x 60 watts) with a visibility of 16 nautical miles. On March 31, 2004 it was declared a German Historical Monument.
