Fernmeldeturm Hamburg-Lohbrügge, Concrete telecommunications tower in Bergedorf district, Hamburg, Germany.
The Fernmeldeturm Hamburg-Lohbrügge is a concrete tower standing approximately 139 meters tall in Hamburg's eastern districts. It supports multiple broadcasting antennas that transmit radio signals across the region.
The tower was built in 1987 from concrete, replacing an older steel lattice mast that stood from the 1960s. It has served as a broadcasting hub for radio transmission across the region ever since.
The tower's name refers to its role in the Lohbrügge telecommunications network, and its antennas carry both commercial radio programmes and the amateur radio relay DB0HHH. The relay's transmitting antenna sits at the very top of the tower, at 138.5 metres, while the receiving antenna is mounted about 20 metres lower.
The tower stands in the Sander Tannen woodland in the Bergedorf district, about 100 metres from the former Sander Dickkopp water tower. It is a technical facility with no visitor access; the structure is seen from the paths through the surrounding forest.
The tower houses a 70-centimeter relay station for amateur radio enthusiasts with separate transmission and reception antennas positioned at different heights. This facility allows hobbyists to communicate over the regional amateur radio network.
