Sunrise behind the Kugelbake in Cuxhaven | Sonnenaufgang hinter der Kugelbake in Cuxhaven

            The Kugelbake is a historic maritime signpost and a cultural icon located in Cuxhaven, Germany. This towering wooden structure, standing at a height of 28.4 meters, has served as a navigational aid marking the point where the Elbe River meets the North Sea. The term 'Bake' dates back to the Middle Ages and was used to describe all navigational signs, including lighthouses. The Kugelbake has been a vital reference point for sailors for centuries and is deeply embedded in the maritime history of the region. Although its practical use has been replaced by modern radar navigation, the Kugelbake remains a beloved landmark, symbolizing the northernmost point of Lower Saxony and is protected as a historical monument. It also holds a special place in the hearts of many emigrants who left Germany from Cuxhaven, as it was often the last piece of their homeland they saw before heading to new horizons.
