As well as the series of Gittermastürmen on the Elbe there was also on the Weser several times the same used construction type. The three-sided grid construction surrounds a square Turmschaft, the upper fires red, the unterfires knows painted, these towers were put into operation after the stream regulation of the Weser in 1893 bit by bit as leading lights lines for the ship journey to Bremen. In 1981 the fires were extinguished in the unterfire and upper fire and new modern towers were put up. The upper fire remained on his place, the unterfire Sandstedt was dismantled and today stands before the DSM (German Schifffahrts museum) in Bremerhaven.
