Roter Sand Lighthouse Turned Hotel in Germany is 125 years old. It was built in 1885, and was considered a technical marvel at that time as it was the first ever structure built on the sea floor at a depth of 22 metres. For 80 years the red, white and black lighthouse was the first thing sailors saw on their way into the port city, and the last thing millions of emigrants saw before their ships reached the North Sea on their journey to the New World. In 1964 the lighthouse was decommissioned.
