Fernmeldeturm Großhau, Communication tower in Hürtgenwald, Germany
The Fernmeldeturm Großhau extends 121 meters into the sky, constructed entirely of concrete and serving as a telecommunications center in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The tower stands near the location of the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, where German and American forces fought for 88 days during World War II.
The surrounding area contains multiple war memorials and a dedicated museum that documents the military events that occurred in Hürtgenwald during 1944.
While the tower itself remains closed to the public, numerous hiking trails in the surrounding forest lead to various World War II memorial sites.
The structure sits approximately 5 kilometers from the Belgian-German border, marking a significant point for telecommunications in the dense Hürtgen Forest region.
