Fernsehturm Dequede, Television tower in Osterburg, Germany.

The Fernsehturm Dequede reaches a height of 184.5 meters and features a concrete construction with a shaft extending to 124.8 meters.

The tower's construction started on October 12, 1956, and began broadcasting in 1959 as part of East Germany's television and radio network development.

The German Post Office issued commemorative stamps featuring the Fernsehturm Dequede, reflecting its status as a cultural heritage monument in Germany.

The facility ceased DVB-T broadcasts in March 2017 but continues to transmit multiple analog radio and DAB digital radio frequencies throughout the region.

This structure stands as the first prestressed concrete tower worldwide and represents the second television tower constructed in the former German Democratic Republic.
