Schinkelturm

The Schinkelturm rises 158 meters into the sky, featuring a metallic antenna structure mounted on its cylindrical concrete shaft near Osnabrück city borders.

Construction of this transmission tower occurred between June 1976 and 1977, establishing essential broadcasting infrastructure for the Niedersachsen region of Germany.

The tower serves as a central hub for regional radio and television broadcasts, transmitting numerous programs through its DVB-T2 and FM radio facilities.

While not open to visitors, the tower contains an elevator system that reaches the operations level in 100 seconds, alongside a staircase of 550 steps.

The structure weighs 5,600 tons and can withstand strong winds up to 45 meters per second with a maximum tip deflection of 0.70 meters.
