The tower was built in 1983 by the German Federal Post Office at Berliner-Tor-Platz to manage regional telecommunications services. Its construction was part of broader efforts during that era to modernize Germany's communications infrastructure.

Local residents call this tower "Langer Heinrich," a traditional nickname that reflects its commanding role in the city's skyline. The name shows how people have claimed this structure as part of their community identity.

The tower is located at Berliner-Tor-Platz in Wesel and is easily accessible from the city center. Keep in mind that direct access to the tower itself is restricted and mainly available to staff and technical personnel.

The amateur radio relay DB0WES has run on the tower since March 1984, operated by the VFDB local branch Moers (district Wesel) Z63. Its omnidirectional antenna sits at 143 m above sea level and transmits at 15 W ERP, reaching well beyond the Wesel district.
