Fernmeldeturm Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Telecommunications tower in Ludwigshafen, Germany

The Fernmeldeturm Ludwigshafen am Rhein is a concrete tower rising from the city that serves as a broadcasting and mobile network transmitter. Its structure was designed specifically to transmit signals across the surrounding region.

The Fernmeldeturm Ludwigshafen am Rhein is a 138-metre type tower built by Deutsche Funkturm for FM radio broadcasting. From 1998 to 2004 it also carried the terrestrial television programme of Rhein-Neckar Fernsehen; before the switch to DVB-T, analogue PAL programmes were transmitted from the site.

The tower transmitted Rhein-Neckar Fernsehen programming from 1998 to 2004, connecting local communities through regional television broadcasts.

The tower is a transmission facility, not a visitor attraction: there is no lift, viewing platform or café, so it can only be viewed from outside. It stands in Ludwigshafen am Rhein and is reached on foot or by public transport; the 138-metre mast is easiest to pick out from a distance across the open city area.

The tower is a Typenturm, a standardised design from Deutsche Funkturm, built for FM radio and later used for terrestrial television. Its 138-metre height made it a fixed reference point in the Ludwigshafen skyline, and the analogue PAL television programmes it carried ended with the switch to DVB-T.
