BERLIN (AP) — Officials in Bremen said on Thursday that the iconic lighthouse at the German city's harbor is tilting to its side and could soon collapse completely.
Public broadcaster Radio Bremen said Uwe, head of the water police, he quoted Auld, saying that nothing could be done to save the lighthouse.
"Unfortunately, I think the tower will be historic in the next few days," he was quoted as saying.
Authorities have banned vessels from entering Bremerhaven's Heeste River due to the risk of a tilting lighthouse at the end of a stone pier that has long needed repair. .
