ILLW reaches 100 entries for 2019

The 100th entry for the 2019 *International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend*,
ILLW, has just been received from DL1SWB who will be operating from
Dahmeshoved Lighthouse in Germany.

The Lighthouse Directory web site maintained by Russ Rowlett has the
following to say about it:-
Built in 1880 with an active focal plane 33.5 m (110 ft); three white
flashes, separated by 2.2 s, every 12 s. 29 m (95 ft) octagonal cylindrical
brown brick tower with iron lantern and watch room and double gallery,
attached to one side of a 2-story brick keeper's house. Tower unpainted;
lantern and watch room painted red. Keeper's house is currently painted
yellow.

A fine example of German Imperial architecture, this handsome lighthouse is
the landfall light for Lübeck, marking the northern entrance to the
Lübecker Bucht. In 1939 the Nazi regime added to the station an 18 m (60
ft) octagonal brick watchtower with gallery and a pyramidal tile roof in a
style echoing the architecture of the lighthouse. The lighthouse carried
red and white horizontal bands for many years; the paint was removed in
1982.

The keeper's house is occupied by resident caretakers, and the lighthouse
is protected as a historic site. Its name includes an interesting
appearance in German of the Danish word  høvd for a promentory. Located in
the village of Dahmeshöved, about 400 m (1/4 mi) north of the cape of that
name, about 6 km (4.5 mi) south of Dahme and 70 km (45 mi) northeast of
Lübeck.

Site open, tower open to guided tours afternoons except Saturdays, April
through October; on Saturdays the lighthouse is a popular site for
weddings.

to be held on 17-18 August
