Sender Herford

Sender Herford is a steel broadcasting tower located in Schwarzenmoor near Herford that transmits radio signals across the surrounding region. The structure stands in open terrain within flat countryside and is visible from various directions.

A medium wave broadcasting system was established in the region and served radio transmission for decades. The current facility was built in the early 1990s and introduced modern transmission technology.

The tower serves as a familiar landmark that shapes how people in the region experience the flat landscape around them. Over time, it has become woven into the daily life of locals through the broadcasts it carries to their homes and cars.

The tower is accessible via hiking trails that pass through heath and woodland areas starting from Schwarzenmoor. The best time to visit is during clear weather when visibility across the flat landscape is especially good.

The tower broadcasts across multiple frequencies simultaneously, serving different radio channels and digital services. This technical versatility allows it to support both traditional and modern transmission formats at the same time.
