Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Westfalenweg, Communications tower in Wuppertal, Germany.

The Fernmeldeturm Wuppertal-Westfalenweg is a concrete communications tower with a circular footprint that rises 128 meters above the surrounding area and stands out in the cityscape. Its functional structure reflects the engineering approach to broadcast infrastructure from the late twentieth century.

The German postal authority built this tower in 1978 to expand telecommunications networks across the region and distribute radio and television signals. Its construction was part of a broader modernization effort for infrastructure in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The tower broadcasts Radio Wuppertal on 107.4 MHz FM with an effective radiated power of 1,000 watts, and it also carries directional radio and mobile services for D1 and E-Plus. Its operator is Deutsche Funkturm, a Telekom subsidiary. The green-painted cabin is the detail listeners and passers-by know it by.

The tower is visible from the surrounding streets and landmarks in the Siebeneick neighborhood, making it straightforward to locate. Visitors can observe the structure from different vantage points throughout the area.

The green-painted platform section at the top makes the tower immediately recognizable against the city skyline and sets it apart from typical gray concrete structures. This colored detail is one of the few visual features that stand out when viewing the tower from a distance.
