The 20.1 m high tower was the last in a long series of lighthouses built in Germany from prefabricated steel elements (tubbing) of the Isselburger Hütte. The tower carries the upper fire for the southern driveway and the beacon for the northwest driveway to the Helgoland port facilities.
The Unterfeuer is a 10 m high steel pipe mast, about 120 meters south of the lighthouse in the Watt.
Both beacons have been preserved several times, most recently in June 2007.

A narrow causeway that initially connected the two islands was later also destroyed by natural forces.
Today, the island is an important habitat for seabirds, grey seals, and harbor seals.
Today, there is still a boat connection that allows access to the …
