Ochsenkopf Transmitter, Radio and television transmitter in Warmensteinach, Germany.
The Ochsenkopf Transmitter is a 163-meter concrete tower at the summit of Ochsenkopf mountain in Warmensteinach. The structure contains five technical floors in its base section, with FM antennas in the upper part and television broadcasting equipment at the steel tube top.
A 50-meter steel tube mast collapsed in January 1958, leading engineers to build this solid concrete tower. The new structure was designed to ensure reliable broadcasting services for the region.
The transmitter broadcast West German television into East Germany during the Cold War, especially ARD programs. It represented an important symbol of Western presence in the region.
The tower is located on hilly terrain in Warmensteinach and is visible from the surroundings. Visitors should know that this is an active broadcasting facility and access may be restricted.
The tower influenced the design of several broadcasting structures across Europe in Poland, Germany, and Russia that copied its concrete construction approach. This spread of its style demonstrates the innovation of German engineering at that time.
