Sender Petersberg, Communication tower in Petersberg, Germany

Sender Petersberg is a reinforced-concrete telecommunications tower built by Deutsche Post between 1963 and 1965 on the Petersberg near Halle, beside an older directional radio tower. It carries antennas for FM and DAB+ radio, broadcasting several programmes for the Halle (Saale) area.

The tower was built between 1963 and 1965 by Deutsche Post next to an existing directional radio tower (A-Turm). It was erected to expand and improve the Southwest Ring microwave link, whose route ran from Berlin via Roitzsch, Petersberg and Kulpenberg to the Brocken and to Erfurt, Inselsberg and Bleßberg. Since being taken over by Deutsche Bundespost, later Deutsche Telekom and then Deutsche Funkturm, it has broadcast several radio programmes for the greater Halle area.

The tower serves as a local landmark that residents use to navigate the area and recognize their surroundings. It functions as a visual reference point woven into everyday life for people living nearby.

The tower stands on the Petersberg hill near Halle, beside the older A-Turm directional radio tower, and is reached via the road up to the Petersberg. The site is a working transmitter operated by Deutsche Funkturm, with Media Broadcast handling digital radio and DIVICON MEDIA analog radio, so the structures are fenced off and not open to visitors.

The tower was built from 1963 to 1965 by Deutsche Post beside an older directional radio tower, the A-Turm, which already stood on the Petersberg. The site is commonly listed in broadcast references as Halle (Wallwitz-Petersberg), a name visitors may meet in frequency tables rather than on road signs.
