Heubach Telecommunication Tower, Television tower in Heubach, Germany.

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.

Negotiations between the Deutsche Bundespost and the city of Heubach began in 1960 to improve telephone service and enable a second television programme. The site on Glasenberg was preferred over the Rosenstein for landscape-protection reasons, and the city gave the land free of charge. The construction contract was signed on 27 December 1962, and the tower entered service on 1 January 1966 at a height of 162.5 metres.

The tower is one of the rare type D standard Bundespost towers, of which only five were built. Its 25-metre viewing platform is looked after by the Heubach branch of the Schwäbische Albverein, which opens it to the public only now and then.

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 tower is one of only five built to the Bundespost's rare Type D design, a series of standardised telecommunication towers. Its height dropped by 20 metres on 11 January 2009, when the glass-fibre cylinder carrying the disused television antennas was removed, leaving the present 142-metre structure.
