Sender Bleßberg, Communication tower in Thuringian Slate Mountains, Germany
Description
Sender Bleßberg is a concrete transmission tower located in the Thuringian Slate Mountains that serves radio and mobile communication networks. The structure rises from a mountain elevation and houses broadcasting equipment at various heights.
History
The tower was constructed between 1970 and 1976, succeeding an earlier steel structure that had delivered radio signals across the region. This change from the older tower to the modern concrete facility represented an evolution in local broadcasting infrastructure.
Culture
The facility transformed regional communication capabilities, providing television and radio signals to communities across southern Thuringia and parts of neighboring territories.
Practical
The tower is operated by Deutsche Funkturm for broadcasting FM radio, Digital Radio DAB+, and mobile communications. Technical platforms are positioned at multiple heights, allowing multiple services to operate from a single structure.
Did you know?
The combination of the tower height and its mountain location makes this the highest artificial point in Thuringia. This elevation enables exceptionally far-reaching signal coverage across the upland terrain.
