Fernmeldeturm Schnaitsee

Fernmeldeturm Schnaitsee, Communications tower in Schnaitsee, Germany.

Fernmeldeturm Schnaitsee, also called FMT Obernhof, is a 158.5-metre concrete telecommunications tower in the Traunstein district, about 11 km east of Wasserburg am Inn, standing in the Garting hamlet. It is closed to the public and replaced a 115-metre steel lattice mast.

The tower replaced a 115-metre steel lattice mast and stands in the Garting district, about 11 km east of Wasserburg am Inn in the Traunstein district. Until 2005 it served as a main transmitter for ZDF and Bayerisches Fernsehen, reaching much of Upper Bavaria; in good weather the signal carried as far as the higher slopes of the Bavarian Forest. Television coverage has since passed to the Wendelstein transmitter.

The tower is known locally for a dispute that made headlines after a second mast with a 50-watt mobile-phone transmitter was erected nearby. A neighbouring farmer complained of poor sleep and reduced milk yield from his cows, and critics of the installation blamed the electromagnetic smog produced by the transmitter.

The tower is not open to the public and stands in the Garting district, about 11 km east of Wasserburg am Inn in Traunstein district. It is reached by local roads; the site itself and its grounds are closed, so it can only be viewed from outside.

A second mast with a 50 W mobile-phone transmitter was added at the site, and a farmer living directly next door claimed he had slept badly since it went into operation and that his cows gave less milk. Critics of the installation blamed the electrosmog produced by the transmitter.
