Émetteur de Lichtenberg, Radio transmission facility in Lichtenberg, Austria

The Lichtenberg transmission mast is a 155-metre-tall guyed steel tube mast weighing 95 tonnes, with a diameter of 1.9 metres at the base and 1.2 metres at the top. An internal elevator allows access up to 80 metres. In August 1964 the mast was raised from 135 metres to 155.7 metres to enable broadcasting of the second television programme, first aired on 4 December 1964. A 17-metre GfK cylinder atop the mast, in use since 1979, was replaced on 18 October 2012.

The facility began operations on November 17, 1960, marking the start of a new era for broadcasting capabilities in the Upper Austria region. This event signaled the technological progress that the community experienced during the post-war period.

The transmission tower appears on the municipal coat of arms of Lichtenberg as a symbol of technological progress. The structure shapes the landscape profile and serves as a key landmark recognized by residents.

The mast is located in Lichtenberg and is visible as a distinctive structure from the outside, making it easy to spot from various parts of the area. Visitors should know that the facility is operational, so access to certain areas may be restricted.

The broadcasting signal reaches beyond Austrian borders into parts of Bavaria, providing stronger reception there than neighboring transmission stations. This cross-border reach makes the facility an important technical infrastructure for the larger region across state lines.
