at Willy-Brand-Platz directly at the Zoo am Meer. The lighthouse is often referred to as "minaret" or "onion tower" because of its unusual architecture. According to Aunt Wiki: The originally 22.40 meter high, round tower was built in 1893 according to the plans of the Bremerhaven harbor construction director Rudolf Rudloff (1851–1922) on the south pier of the lock to the New Harbor in steel plate-clad steel skeleton construction. Since then it has served as the rear light of the Bremerhaven range light line. In 1992 it was moved 56 meters away from its original place, towards its current location at the Seebäderkaje, so that its light could no longer be blocked by ships. In the process, the tower was raised to 26 meters.
The beacon of the tower is located in the upper white area at a height of 21 meters above mean high water. After initially being operated with petroleum and later with gas, a spotlight has provided the necessary light since 1925. In 1942 the operation of the beacon was automated.

Der Leuchtturm wird aufgrund seiner ungewöhnlichen Architektur häufig als „Minarett“ oder „Zwiebelturm“ bezeichnet. Lt. Tante Wiki: Der ursprünglich 22,40 Meter hohe, runde Turm wurde im Jahr 1893 nach den Plänen des Bremerhavener Hafenbaudirektors Rudolf Rudloff (1851–1922) auf der Südmole der Schleuse zum Neuen Hafen in mit Stahlplatten verkleideter Stahlskelettbauweise erbaut. Seither dient er als Unterfeuer der Richtfeuerlinie Bremerhaven. Im Jahr 1992 wurde er von seinem ursprünglichen Platz um 56 Meter wegversetzt, hin zu seinem heutigen Standort an der Seebäderkaje, damit sein Licht nicht mehr von Schiffen verdeckt werden konnte. Dabei wurde der Turm auf 26 Meter erhöht.
Das Leuchtfeuer des Turms befindet sich im oberen weißen Bereich in einer Höhe von 21 Metern über mittlerem Hochwasser. Nachdem er anfänglich mit Petroleum und später mit Gas betrieben wurde, sorgt seit 1925 ein Scheinwerfer für das nötige Licht. 1942 wurde der Betrieb des Leuchtfeuers automatisiert.
