Heubach Telecommunication Tower

The Heubach Telecommunication Tower is a 162-meter concrete structure on Glasenberg mountain that houses equipment for radio, television, police, and emergency service transmissions. The tower features an observation deck at 25 meters height accessible via a stairway with 139 steps.

Construction of the tower began in 1966 as a Bundespost project and was part of Germany's telecommunications infrastructure expansion during that era. The Glasenberg location was chosen to provide optimal signal coverage for the Heubach region.

The tower has become a recognizable landmark in the Heubach area, serving as a visual reference point for residents and travelers passing through the region. Its location on Glasenberg makes it part of the local identity.

Reaching the observation platform requires climbing 139 steps, so visitors should have a reasonable level of physical fitness and balance. Access to the platform is limited to special occasions, so it is worth checking in advance before planning a visit.

The station bigFM is broadcast from this tower at 105.1 MHz and reaches many listeners across the region. Despite being technically complex, most people pass by without noticing the engineering that keeps their radio and television signals flowing.
