Fernmeldeturm der Oberpostdirektion München, Telecommunications tower in Neuhausen, Munich, Germany.
The Fernmeldeturm der Oberpostdirektion München is a 101.6-metre telecommunications tower built in 1956 on Blutenburgstraße in the Neuhausen district of Munich. It is not one of the standard type towers and is now owned by Deutsche Telekom AG. Until the Olympiaturm was built, it served as the basic television network transmitter for ZDF and Bayerisches Fernsehen.
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 tower transmitted on 945 kHz, first the educational programme AfK and later Megaradio. A long-wire antenna was strung from a directional-radio platform down along the structure for this medium-wave service.
