Sendeturm Krehberg, Communication tower in Lindenfels, Germany.
Sendeturm Krehberg is a 102 meter tall broadcasting tower in Lindenfels with a steel lattice structure and mast framework. The construction combines two different building methods to achieve optimal functionality for radio transmission.
The tower was originally built at 122 meters tall and served radio transmission in the region. After analog broadcasting stopped, a GFK cylinder was removed, reducing its height to 102 meters.
The tower has broadcast radio programs since 1989 and shapes the media landscape of the Odenwald region. Travelers passing through and hikers in the area notice it as a distinctive sign of local radio communication.
The tower sits at an elevated location near Lindenfels and is visible from various hiking paths in the area. Since it functions as an active broadcasting facility, direct access is not available, but the site offers good views of the surrounding hilly landscape.
The tower's hybrid construction shows an interesting blend of two methods: a self-supporting steel lattice base topped with a guyed mast framework. This combination of two building approaches provided an efficient solution for the radio transmission needs of the time.
