Cuxhaven
Where the Elbe ends...
...and the North Sea begins. In order to make this geographically important point visible, a fire used to burn in the Kugelbake at night and thus served as an orientation aid for sailors.
Today, the Kugelbake has lost its actual significance, as modern radar piloting has taken over its task. Nevertheless, the Kugelbake is still a popular destination for excursions, because it marks the northernmost point of Lower Saxony and is a protected monument.
Incidentally, the emigrants who used to set out from Cuxhaven on their sea journey to America often took the sight of the Kugelbake with them on their way as a last reminder of their homeland.
