Since November 29, 1984, the Blankenese High Lighthouse or known as Blankenese Lighthouse Upper, together with the Blankenese Low Lighthouse, forms a range of lights for ships sailing upriver on the Elbe. With 8,410 meters it is the longest range of the Unterelbe. The lighthouse is located in the Hamburg district of Blankenese. The 40-meters tall, white-and-red-striped concrete tower with a red steel lantern house was constructed in 1983. It is located in Baurs Park on the Kanonenberg, approximately 1,340 meters from the front light. Inside it has a round staircase leading to the top.
