Until 1945 it was moored at the position known as Außeneider guarding the estuary of the river Eider on the North Sea coast.

In the years from 1956 to 1965 it was a reserve lighthouse in the Baltic Sea and then from 1965 to 1984 it was positioned under its present name in the Fehmarn Belt.

Today it belongs to a charitable society and its home port is the Lübeck museum port [de] in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, where it spends the winter months at least.
