Leuchtturm Staberhuk is the landmark lighthouse standing at Staberhuk, the easternmost headland of the island of Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea. It functions as a distinctive coastal marker for vessels crossing the Fehmarn Belt and is important for local maritime orientation as well as for the island’s coastal landscape. The light station dates from the early 20th century and reflects Fehmarn’s long relationship with shipping and coastal safety.
Architecturally the tower is a modest masonry lighthouse with a lantern and surrounding gallery; its simple, functional silhouette sits low on the chalk cliffs rather than towering above them, making it part of the natural shoreline panorama. The headland and immediate surroundings are valued for wide, unobstructed views across the Baltic toward Denmark on clear days, dramatic coastal erosion features, and seasonal seabird activity—birdwatchers often visit during migration. Unique local notes: the Staberhuk area hosts marked coastal walking paths along the cliff edge and interpretation signs that explain the headland’s geology and maritime history. The lighthouse itself is a photographed focal point of Fehmarn’s eastern coast; the structure is visible from nearby viewing points though it is not regularly open for interior tours.
