Fernmeldeturm der Oberpostdirektion München, Telecommunications tower in Neuhausen, Munich, Germany.
The telecommunications tower in Neuhausen is a concrete structure 101.6 meters high, functioning as a broadcast facility for radio and television transmissions across Munich. The building houses transmission equipment for multiple FM radio stations operating between 94.5 and 104.0 MHz.
The tower was built in 1956 as Munich's main television and radio transmission station. After the Olympic Tower opened in 1972, it continued operating as a broadcast site but was no longer the primary television transmission facility.
The tower served as a crucial broadcast point during Munich's postwar media expansion. It remains visible in the city's skyline as a working transmission site for several local radio stations.
Located on Blutenburgstraße in Neuhausen, the tower operates continuously as an active transmission facility. The site is not open to the public due to its operational status and security requirements.
From 1998 to 2003, the facility used a long-wire antenna system suspended from the tower's platforms for medium-wave radio reception. This technical setup represented an interesting transitional solution between analog and digital broadcasting technology.
