Sender Wannenberg

Sender Wannenberg is a transmission facility in Hohentengen am Hochrhein that rises prominently above the landscape. The concrete structure was built to broadcast television and radio signals throughout the region.

The facility was built between 1965 and 1968 as a concrete structure and named after the nearby geographical elevation. It became part of the infrastructure development to improve broadcasting coverage in this border region.

Local residents recognize the tower as a landmark that shapes the character of the surrounding area. The facility bridges communities on both sides of the Rhine through its broadcasting reach.

The facility is viewable from a distance and remains clearly visible in the landscape. Visitors can observe the structure from afar, as direct access to the facility itself is not available to the public.

The transmission facility sits close to the Rhine River and serves both German and Swiss receivers. This border location makes it a special technical solution for binational broadcasting coverage.
