Sender Pfaffenhofen, Communication tower in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Germany.
Sender Pfaffenhofen is a telecommunications tower made of concrete located near the Bavarian town of Pfaffenhofen. The structure rises with a cylindrical shape, supporting radio and television broadcasting services.
The facility began transmitting in 1958 and became an important part of the region's media landscape. In 2007 it switched to digital television broadcasting to serve ZDF and BR channels across the area.
The tower broadcasts regional radio programs that connect people across the area with news and entertainment. Through its transmitters, listeners receive content from stations that serve the local communities daily.
The tower stands west of Wolfsberg village and can be easily spotted from roads in the surrounding area. It is best viewed during daytime when light clearly shows the concrete structure against the sky.
This tower is one of only four such concrete structures of its type in Germany, topped with a distinctive antenna radome. The rare design makes it noteworthy for those interested in industrial architecture and broadcasting history.
