Kahlenberg Transmitter, Communication tower in Vienna, Austria.

The Kahlenberg Transmitter features a 165-meter steel tube mast equipped with technical rooms for broadcasting operations on the northeastern hills of Vienna.

The facility began operations in 1953 with an antenna on Stefaniewarte tower, followed by a 129-meter lattice steel mast in 1956, before receiving its current structure in 1974.

The transmission tower, designed by architect Gustav Peichl, exemplifies the integration of technical requirements with architectural design principles in broadcasting structures.

The structure provides FM radio and television signals throughout Vienna and surrounding regions from its position at coordinates 48°16'35.4"N and 16°20'0.2"E.

The transmitter sits on Kahlenberg mountain, which served as the strategic point for Jan III Sobieski's forces during the 1683 siege of Vienna.
