Fernsehturm Angelburg, Communication tower in Schelder Wald, Germany
Fernsehturm Angelburg is a concrete transmission tower on Mount Angelburg in Hesse that rises 171 meters above the surrounding landscape. The facility broadcasts television channels and radio programs to serve the region's communication needs.
The tower began transmitting in 1968 and served for decades as the region's primary broadcast facility. Technological changes led to modifications of its upper section in 2020 when outdated equipment was removed.
The structure broadcasts twelve public television channels and one FM radio program, serving as a central communication point for the Hesse region.
The tower is closed to public access but can be viewed from the surrounding area. The hilltop location offers views across the landscape and is reachable by local pathways.
A helicopter was used in 2020 to lift away the upper 15 meters of the structure as broadcast technology evolved and older transmission standards were phased out. This dramatic method of updating infrastructure reflected the shifts in how regions distribute their signals.
