Fernmeldeturm Waghäusel, Telecommunications tower in Wiesental district, Waghäusel, Germany.

The Fernmeldeturm Waghäusel is a concrete telecommunications tower near Waghäusel featuring a slender shaft with multiple operational platforms. Its structure comprises roughly 131 meters of height with several internal floors dedicated to telecommunications equipment and support functions.

The Fernmeldeturm Waghäusel was built in 1971 in the Wiesental district of Waghäusel. Its design comes from the FMT 6 type series, planned in the 1960s by Fritz Leonhardt and Erwin Heinle for the former Bundespost. Only five towers of this type were built, and the Waghäusel tower is one of them.

The tower is one of only five built to the FMT 6 type design, planned in the 1960s by Fritz Leonhardt and Erwin Heinle for the former Bundespost. Its operating floor was deliberately smaller than in later types, and the first floor held a staff room, workshop and storage, while the second housed the telecommunications equipment.

The tower stands in the Wiesental district of Waghäusel and is operated by Deutsche Funkturm; there is no public viewing platform, so it is seen from outside. The three platform levels sit at 65, 68 and 84 metres, with the operating floor between the upper two. Plan a visit around a walk or drive past the site rather than an interior tour.

The FMT 6 type was planned in the 1960s by Fritz Leonhardt and Erwin Heinle for the Bundespost, and Waghäusel is one of only five towers of this series. Its operating floor is markedly smaller than that of later types, leaving less room for equipment.
