Fernmeldeturm Heckenbach-Schöneberg, Communication tower in Heckenbach, Germany.
The 154-meter concrete tower stands on Schöneberg mountain at an elevation of 666 meters in the Eifel region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The tower, constructed in 1974, replaced an older structure that served as a crucial link in the Düsseldorf-Mannheim communication network.
The facility marked a significant advancement in German telecommunications by enabling the broadcast of the second television program in 1962.
Access to the tower requires driving along a 1.7-kilometer dead-end road from the K56 route between Niederheckenbach and Kempenich.
The tower connects to a former government bunker in the Ahr Valley, established during the Cold War period in 1959.
