Coburg-Eckardtsberg transmitter, Broadcasting tower in Coburg, Germany.
The Coburg-Eckardtsberg transmitter stands 68 meters tall and features a distinctive butterfly antenna at its summit, constructed entirely from concrete segments.
From August 1951 to March 1969, the facility operated as a medium wave transmitter, initially using a Western Electric 1kW system before upgrading to a 3kW unit.
The transmitter distributes numerous radio programs including Bayern 2 and BR-Klassik, contributing to the regional media landscape of Upper Franconia.
The facility broadcasts on FM frequencies including 88.3 MHz for Bayern 2 and 97.7 MHz for BR-Klassik, plus digital radio on channel 11D since 2015.
The tower employs an uncommon construction method using prefabricated concrete segments held together by steel cables, making it a rare example of this architectural style.
