Brocken Transmitter, Broadcasting station atop Brocken Mountain, Germany.

The Brocken Transmitter consists of two towers, with the old tower measuring 53 meters and the new steel structure reaching 123 meters in height.

Constructed between 1936 and 1937, the original tower shifted from television broadcasting to radar operations during World War II military requirements.

The observation deck windows mirror the architectural design of the Radio Tower Berlin, representing German broadcasting infrastructure of the 1930s.

Visitors can access the observation deck of the older tower by elevator while the modern three-legged steel structure remains closed to the public.

During German division, this transmitter broadcast television signals from its position in East Germany, reaching portions of West German territory.
