Kettrichhof transmitter, Broadcasting station in Lemberg, Germany
Kettrichhof is a broadcasting transmitter in Lemberg featuring a 236-meter tall latticed steel mast with a square cross-section, positioned at 436 meters elevation. The facility transmits digital television and radio signals to serve the surrounding region.
Operations began in January 1985, establishing a new broadcasting center in the region. A major reconstruction in 2007 extended the mast height by 26 meters, improving signal reach and transmission capacity.
This broadcaster distributes radio and television programs from Südwestfunk, linking communities across the region from the Eifel area to Karlsruhe and Pforzheim. The surrounding towns and villages depend on the signals from this mast for their daily radio and television service.
The site sits at elevated terrain and transmits across the surrounding hills and plateaus. Visitors should know this is an active broadcasting facility, and access may be limited for safety and operational reasons.
The transmission signal reaches elevated areas of the Swabian Alb, overcoming significant distances across varied terrain throughout Rhineland-Palatinate. This broad reach demonstrates the mast's technical performance and its crucial role in serving distant populations.
