Blankenese High Lighthouse and Blankenese Low Lighthouse form a range of lights for ships sailing upriver on the Elbe. With a range of 8.4 kilometers, they have the longest range on the Unterelbe.
Inside has a round staircase leading to the top. Because of its height, the tower has an obstacle lighting for air transport. It is made of steel and some 20 m higher of previous one. The eleven-ton lantern house was assembled using a mobile crane. The lighthouse is remotely controlled by the Seemanshöft Pilot Centre.
Due to adjustments to the Elbe fairway, both the High and the Low Lighthouses replaced similar ones which were demolished.
