Sendeturm Künzell, Transmitter tower in Künzell, Germany

Sendeturm Künzell is a free-standing steel lattice transmitter tower in Künzell, in the German state of Hesse, rising to about 68 meters (223 feet). It sits on a hilltop roughly 1,200 feet (368 meters) above sea level, which helps its FM radio signals reach the city of Fulda and the surrounding area.

The site was set up in the early 1960s as a fill-in transmitter for Das Erste (then Deutsches Fernsehen) on VHF channel 11. In the first half of the 1980s FM radio followed, with hr3 on 93.6 MHz and hr1 on 102.5 MHz. In 1986 the hr1 frequency moved to 103.9 MHz and that October passed to the new hr4 programme.

The tower is not open to the public and has no visitor facilities. It can be seen clearly from nearby roads, especially when approaching from the south.
