The lighthouse on the North Sea island of Pellworm

For almost 100 years the beacon of Pellworm lighthouse has been guiding mariners the sea.This seamark stands for reliability, strength and power but also loyalty and safety; solid as a rock in every weather – in all seasons.

It is not only these symbolical qualities that explain why more than 1,200 couples have exchanged vows at Pellworm Lighthouse, but also the unique atmosphere of the highest registry office in the in northern Germany.

Since May 1998 news of this unforgettable maritime wedding location has spread widely: You drive to the entrance gate of the lighthouse grounds where a registrar and Captain Wilfried Eberhardt, the organizer of lighthouse weddings, will welcome you.

When you ascend the 140 enclosed stairs to the highest registry office, past various decks that have been lovingly decorated with maritime features, the unique atmosphere of this place will captivate you.

After the civil wedding captain Eberhardt will conduct a maritime ceremony to launch the ship of your marriage onto its journey into the harbour of your future life together. Then the newlyweds will go up to the observation gallery for their first walk together, following the lighthouse beacon which will show them their future way.

A few decks further down a a local woman from Pellworm will be looking forward to treating you to sekt and other traditional specialities.

Protected by the lighthouse beacon the bride and groom will enjoy the view of the island and the sea – unforgettable moments that will stay with them forever.
