Sender Donnersberg, Broadcasting tower on Donnersberg mountain, Germany
The concrete telecommunications tower rises 204 meters into the sky from the highest peak in the Palatinate region at 670 meters above sea level.
The structure, built between 1961 and 1962 by Südwestfunk broadcasting company, replaced a former U.S. Army communications station from the post-World War II period.
The tower supports regional broadcasting needs through SWR radio programs, including SWR1 Rheinland-Pfalz and SWR3, connecting communities across the Northern Palatinate region.
The facility transmits FM radio, DAB+, and DVB-T2 HD digital television signals across the Pfalz, Nahe region, and Rheinhessen through vertically polarized antennas.
The structure tapers from 20 meters at its base to 2 meters at its peak, with foundations extending 2.65 meters into the mountain bedrock.
