Eifel Transmitter, Telecommunications tower in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The Eifel Transmitter is a 302-metre-tall guyed steel lattice mast on the Scharteberg near Kirchweiler. Its square cross-section measures 2.1 metres per side, and a 14-metre GFK cylinder at the top houses UHF antennas. The structure weighs 204 tons and is guyed at four levels: 57, 123, 195 and 273 metres above ground.

The tower was erected in 1985, replacing an earlier antenna that was 160 meters tall. This modernization enabled improved radio transmission into the deep valleys of the Eifel region.

The transmitter serves as the primary communications hub for the German broadcasting company SWR, distributing radio and television signals across the region.

The mast stands on the Scharteberg near Kirchweiler and is visible from far across the Eifel. Access is via the surrounding paths and roads; the site itself is a technical facility and not open to visitors. An elevator inside runs up to 281 metres, but it serves maintenance only.

The mast's 288-metre steel lattice is topped by a 14-metre glass-fibre-reinforced plastic cylinder that houses the UHF television antennas. The whole structure weighs 204 tonnes and carries an elevator running up to 281 metres. Twenty red neon lamps and two blinking 1000-watt lights serve as aircraft warning.
