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 Hessischer Rundfunk started mediumwave test broadcasts in April 1952, moving to regular service that June; television followed three years later. The original 160-metre steel-tube mast radiator, built in 1951, was demolished in 1995 and replaced by a 155-metre grounded lattice mast with a cage antenna. Mediumwave transmissions ceased on 1 January 2010, and the reserve mast came down on 16 March 2015.

The transmitter's reach shapes how listeners identify with the station: the 89.5 MHz frequency (hr3) can be heard continuously from Bad Kissingen to Hanover, and along the A4 almost to Jena. Reception extends into Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, North Rhine-Westphalia's Sauerland and parts of Saxony, making it one of the Hessischer Rundfunk's farthest-reaching sites.

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 95-metre steel-tube mast built in 1951 first served with the 150-metre main mast as a directional antenna with a minimum pointing toward Sweden. After 1995 it remained as a reserve, and it was demolished only on 16 March 2015.
