Sender Himmelhof, Communication tower in Ober Sankt Veit, Austria
Sender Himmelhof is a transmission facility in Ober Sankt Veit that broadcasts radio and television signals across the region. The installation uses multiple antennas positioned at different heights to transmit on various frequencies and reach different areas.
The facility was established to bring broadcast signals to western Vienna, where the Kahlenberg mountain could not provide adequate coverage. This enabled reliable radio reception for the first time in Ober Sankt Veit and surrounding neighborhoods.
The tower maintains continuous transmission of national radio programs, including Radio Wien and Ö1, connecting local communities through media programming.
The facility is visible from outside and can be photographed from various points in the neighborhood. Public access to the installation itself is not available, but the location is easily reached and visible from several residential areas.
The facility uses both analog and digital technologies to transmit signals, allowing broad compatibility with older and newer radio receivers. This makes it a key hub for delivering different broadcast formats across the region.
