Fernmeldeturm „Langer Heinrich“, Telecommunications tower in Wesel, Germany.
The Fernmeldeturm tower rises 158 meters above sea level with two platforms positioned at heights of 99.95 and 108.20 meters respectively.
The German Federal Post Office constructed this concrete telecommunications tower in 1983 at Berliner-Tor-Platz to manage general telecommunications traffic.
The name Langer Heinrich represents a traditional German nickname given by local residents, reflecting the tower's dominant presence in the urban landscape.
The structure houses multiple broadcasting facilities for FM radio, directional radio, amateur radio services, and mobile communications across the Wesel district.
An amateur radio relay station DB0WES operates from 143 meters above sea level with 15 watts ERP, extending communications far beyond regional boundaries.
