Mulleklenkes, Television tower in Aachen Forest, Germany.
The Mulleklenkes rises 133 meters above the ground near the German-Belgian border, featuring a conical concrete shaft with antenna platforms at the top.
Deutsche Bundespost constructed the Mulleklenkes television tower in 1984 at a cost of 5.6 million Deutsche Marks as part of Germany's telecommunications expansion.
The tower's name combines local dialect words 'mullen' for chattering and 'Klenkes', referring to the extended little finger traditional to Aachen's needle industry.
Deutsche Funkturm operates this transmission facility for digital television, DAB+ radio signals, and mobile communications, serving the western region of Germany.
Positioned at the westernmost point of Germany's transmission network, the tower stands on Karlshöhe ridge at 342 meters above sea level.
