Sender Herford

The steel transmission tower stands at 109 meters high in North Rhine-Westphalia, functioning as a central broadcasting point for the surrounding region.

Westdeutscher Rundfunk established the original medium wave broadcasting facility at Eggeberg, which later transitioned to the current tower constructed in 1994.

The tower represents the evolution of German broadcasting infrastructure, serving as a vital connection point for radio communications across the Detmold Government Region.

Visitors can reach the tower through multiple hiking trails, including a 5.42-kilometer loop path starting from Schwarzenmoor with clear directional markers.

The structure combines broadcasting capabilities for both FM and DAB+ frequencies, marking the technological advancement from traditional medium wave transmission methods.
