Hoher Meissner transmitter, Radio transmitter facility in Hessisch Lichtenau, Germany
Hoher Meissner is a radio transmission facility with multiple steel masts of varying heights arranged across the site. The complex is designed to broadcast radio signals across a wide geographic area using these coordinated structures.
The facility began transmitting in 1952 with an original steel-tube mast structure. In 1995, this was replaced with a modern steel lattice tower to meet changing broadcast requirements.
The station supplies radio programs that form part of daily life for people across the region. It represents the infrastructure that brings broadcast radio into homes.
The facility sits on elevated terrain and is visible from surrounding roads in the area. Access to the grounds is restricted as this is an active broadcasting operation.
The transmitter was originally designed with directional signals aimed toward Scandinavia. This engineering approach allowed both the old and new masts to work together even after the 1995 modernization.
