Opened to the public in 1995, this historic station has quickly become one of Germany's best known and most visited lighthouses. Following reunification the national park service restored the station and the Deutsches Meeresmuseum in Stralsund established an aquarium and nature museum, the Natureum Darßer Ort, in the keeper's house and other buildings. Most visitors also climb the tower for its spectacular view over the Baltic; in good weather the Danish island of Falster can be seen across the mouth of the Mecklenburger Bucht. Located on the point of Darßer Ort about 5 km (3 mi) west of Ostseebad Prerow. Site open, museum and tower open daily May through October daily except Mondays and Tuesdays the rest of the year.

1933 (light station established 1911; fog signal station established 1897). Inactive since 2014 and reported demolished at least by 2018. This was a 8 m (26 ft) square brick tower with gallery, rising from one corner of a 1-story generator house. Lantern removed and stored for possible future display. The tower was unpainted red brick; the lantern was painted white with a red roof. Werning has a photo and Leuchtturm-Atlas has a page with photos. Google has a satellite view of the former location. The original light was fastened to the chimney of the fog signal generator house. This light is in Fischland, a narrow, sandy barrier isthmus connecting the mainland to the Darß-Zingst peninsula. The government resisted placing a light here in addition to the Darßer Ort lighthouse, but gave in when so many ships kept wrecking on the beach in the area. In September 2013 a new light (focal plane 11 m (36 ft); white light, occulting three times every 12 s) was placed on a mast on the Wustrow pier. The historic lighthouse was deactivated in April 2014 and the lantern was removed to storage by WSA Stralsund. The buildings were demolished. Located just behind the beach near Ostseebad Wustrow, about 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Darßer Ort. Site open, tower closed. Operator: WSA Stralsund. ARLHS FED-267; Admiralty C1436; NGA 3512.
