Fernmeldeturm Solingen

Fernmeldeturm Solingen is a communication tower in the city with a height of about 166 meters and multiple platforms carrying various antennas and transmission equipment. The structure was designed for regional radio and television broadcasting and shapes the cityscape with its distinctive form.

The tower was built in the 1980s by the German postal service to modernize the region's communication infrastructure. Its design came from respected architects and engineers who were known for creating such structures.

The tower carries a local nickname among residents that reflects their everyday relationship with the structure. It serves as a visual landmark that people use to navigate and orient themselves in the city.

The tower is located on Schlagbaumer Street and serves mainly as a transmission facility for radio and television signals in the region. Visitors should know that this is an active communication facility and is not accessible for tours.

The platforms of the tower are positioned at different heights and carry colored antenna systems that give the structure a recognizable outline. This staggered arrangement is not only functional but also makes the tower clearly visible from ground level.
