Sender Ravensburg

Sender Ravensburg is a broadcast tower in Illmensee that stands in the Baden-Württemberg region of southern Germany. The facility houses multiple transmitting antennas that deliver radio and television signals to the surrounding area.

Construction of this broadcast facility began in 1969 under the direction of Deutsche Bundespost to provide radio coverage to the region. The installation underwent major upgrades over the decades to keep pace with broadcasting technology.

The tower broadcasts multiple television programs including ZDF and SWR Fernsehen Baden-Württemberg, connecting local communities with regional media content.

The site is an active transmission facility and is not open to public entry, but you can see the tower from various viewpoints in the surrounding landscape. Roads and walking paths in the area offer the best vantage points for viewing the structure.

The facility includes older transmission masts from the 1960s that were originally built to serve radio broadcasting needs. These early structures create an interesting contrast with the more modern equipment that has been added later.
