Bamberg transmitter, Communication tower on the Geisberg near Geisfeld, Germany

The Bamberg transmitter is a reinforced-concrete television tower about 107 metres tall on the summit of the Geisberg (585 m above sea level) northeast of Geisfeld, a district of Strullendorf in the Bamberg district of Upper Franconia. It broadcasts FM and DAB radio signals and is not open to the public.

The Bayerischer Rundfunk facility on the Geisberg, northeast of Geisfeld in the Strullendorf municipality, broadcast analogue television in PAL until the switch to DVB-T on 25 November 2008. Since then television coverage has come from the Bamberg (Kälberberg) transmitter, 4 km to the south on the Wachknock, which had served as the analogue main transmitter for ZDF and Bayerisches Fernsehen until that same date.

The site is run by Bayerischer Rundfunk, which broadcasts FM and DAB radio from the steel-reinforced concrete mast on the Geisberg. Television coverage for the area now comes from a separate transmitter 4 km south on the Wachknock, which took over after the switch to DVB-T on 25 November 2008.

The tower stands on the Geisberg summit at 585 m above sea level, northeast of Geisfeld in the Strullendorf municipality, and is not open to the public. There is no viewing platform; the site can only be seen from outside, so visitors should not plan on climbing it.
