Fernmeldeturm Barsinghausen

The Fernmeldeturm Barsinghausen is a 150-meter-high concrete structure standing on the Großer Hals hill at 361 meters above sea level. The tower was specifically designed for radio transmission and shapes the landscape of the region.

The German postal service built this transmission tower in 1969 as part of northern Germany's modern telecommunications infrastructure. The structure represents a phase of technical progress in postwar media distribution.

The tower broadcasts local radio programs that reach homes throughout the region on a daily basis. This role has made it an important part of Lower Saxony's media landscape.

The tower itself is closed to visitors, but the surrounding area offers numerous hiking trails through the Deister forest. The hill and adjacent paths are popular with walkers and nature enthusiasts.

The tower broadcasts on two different frequencies, connecting multiple radio programs that have served the region for decades. For many residents, the transmitter is part of their daily media experience.
