Rottenbuch Radio Tower

The Rottenbuch Radio Tower is a communication tower in Peiting built from European Douglas fir timber fastened with steel pegs. The structure provides mobile phone coverage to the surrounding region and stands as a functional example of wood-based tower construction.

Construction began in early 2002 when foundation work started, with the timber elements being assembled over the following months. The completed tower became a significant example of modern wood construction for telecommunications infrastructure.

The tower stands as an example of modern German engineering, combining traditional wood construction methods with current telecommunications requirements in Upper Bavaria.

The tower is located near Peiting in Upper Bavaria and visible from the surrounding area, with open fields providing clear views from different angles. Visiting during daylight allows you to see the wooden construction details and photograph the structure effectively.

The structure ranks as the world's second tallest wooden construction, using a building method rarely seen in modern telecommunications projects today. This distinction makes it a notable reference point for sustainable tower design in Germany.
