Feldberg/Taunus transmitter, Communication tower in Schmitten im Taunus, Germany
The Feldberg/Taunus transmitter stands 69 meters tall on Grosser Feldberg mountain, combining concrete base structure with wooden upper sections for broadcasting purposes.
Built in 1937 as a 53-meter concrete structure, the tower served as a television facility before being damaged during World War II and reconstructed in 1950.
The transmitter facility represents mid-20th century German broadcasting technology and maintains its status as a protected cultural heritage monument in Hesse.
The tower provides FM radio and television transmission services to the Rhine-Main area while functioning as a directional radio communication center.
The upper section of the tower contains no metal components in its construction, preventing interference between the multiple directional antennas mounted on the structure.
