View of Kampen Lighthouse (Langer Christian)

Highlight • Monument

The “Langer Christian” lighthouse in Kampen on Sylt is an important maritime landmark on the island. It was put into operation in 1856 and has since served as an important landmark for seafaring along the North Sea coast. The lighthouse stands south of Kampen and is easily visible due to its black and white color scheme, which offers a strong contrast to the red cliff and the often gray sky.

Originally known as the “Red Cliff,” the lighthouse was powered by a kerosene lantern, which was a technological sensation at the time and was even presented at the World Exhibition in Paris. Over the years, the lighthouse has undergone several modernizations, including conversion to electric operation in 1929 and extensive renovations between 2004 and 2006. Since 1977, the lighthouse has been automated and is remotely controlled by the Waterways and Shipping Administration.

The “Lange Christian” is no longer accessible today, but it remains a popular destination, especially for walkers and cyclists who want to enjoy the picturesque surroundings and the impressive views. The lighthouse reaches a fire height of 62 meters above sea level and has a range of 20 nautical miles in white light.
