Since 29 November 1984, the Blankenese High Lighthouse, also known as Blankenese Upper Lighthouse, together with the Blankenese Low Lighthouse, forms a range of lights for ships sailing upriver on the Elbe. With 8,410 meters it is the longest range of the Unterelbe. The lighthouse is located in the Hamburg district of Blankenese.[2]

The 40-meters tall, white-and-red-striped concrete tower with a red steel lantern house was constructed in 1983.[3] It is located in Baurs Park on the Kanonenberg, approximately 1,340 meters from the front light. Inside it has a round staircase leading to the top.

The eleven-ton lantern house was assembled using a mobile crane. Because of its height, the tower has an obstacle lighting for air transport.

The lighthouse is remotely controlled by the Seemanshöft Pilot Centre.
