Sender Hesselberg, Communication tower in Gerolfingen, Germany.
Sender Hesselberg is a communication facility near Gerolfingen that broadcasts radio, television, and mobile signals. The structure combines a steel lattice mast with supporting guy wires that provide stability.
The German postal service built the facility between 1960 and 1966, launching a second television channel in the region during 1965. This expansion allowed more people to receive additional broadcasting channels.
The tower serves amateur radio operators who use its relay station to communicate with each other across the region. This function connects hobbyists through voice and data transmission.
The facility stands in open countryside and is visible from a distance across the landscape. Keep in mind that this is an active transmission site and cannot be entered by the public.
The facility uses solar panels and wind power to keep the radio equipment running even during power outages. This independent energy supply makes the transmitter especially reliable for emergency communications.
