Ochsenkopf Transmitter, Radio and television transmitter in Warmensteinach, Germany.
The 163-meter concrete tower stands at the summit of Ochsenkopf mountain, providing radio and television signals across Northern Bavaria and beyond.
Following the collapse of a 50-meter steel tube mast in January 1958, engineers constructed this reinforced concrete tower to ensure continuous broadcasting services.
During the Cold War, this transmitter enabled West German television programs to reach audiences in East Germany, particularly through ARD channel broadcasts.
The structure contains five technical floors in its base section, with FM transmission antennas in the upper part and TV broadcasting equipment at the steel tube summit.
The transmitter's design influenced several European broadcasting towers, including structures in Poland, Germany, and Russia that replicated its architectural elements.
