Admittedly, it's a strange name for a lighthouse, because the Fat Berta doesn't look all that bulky. In any case, the people of Cuxhaven have grown very fond of the Fat Berta, even though the lighthouse has not been in operation since 1983.
Today, you can get married in the Fat Berta or visit her. You will learn a lot about the exciting times of beacons and lighthouses. And you can also find out why the Dicke Berta was actually supposed to be demolished and who saved it. Guided tours take place from Easter Saturday to the end of September on Tuesdays from 10am to 12pm and on Saturdays from 3pm to 5pm. Guided tours are also available on request outside regular opening hours.
