Sender Inselsberg, Transmission tower in Bad Tabarz, Germany.
Description
Sender Inselsberg is a steel tube tower with three supporting legs rising from a peak near Bad Tabarz. The structure carries multiple platforms where antennas and broadcast equipment for radio and television are mounted.
History
An older tower was built on Inselsberg in 1939, then supplemented in 1974 by the German Democratic Republic with a modern steel structure. This second facility allowed expanded radio and television signals to reach a wider area.
Culture
The transmitter sits on a ridge long used for communications, showing the region's technical evolution over time. The facility remains an important hub for radio and television signals reaching people across Thuringia today.
Practical
The tower sits on a mountain ridge and is reachable via hiking trails from nearby towns, all clearly marked and maintained. The exposed location offers good views of the surrounding landscape, especially for those walking through the region.
Did you know?
The upper section uses glass-reinforced plastic protective casing to shield and enclose the broadcast antennas for FM radio and television. This material makes the facility resistant to weather and gives it a distinctive look.
