Sender Pritzwalk

Sender Pritzwalk is a 169-meter tall steel lattice tower near Buchholz in Pritzwalk, designed to broadcast radio signals across the region. The structure was expanded around 2016 with a DAB+ antenna to enable digital radio transmissions.

The facility began broadcasting in 1996 and initially served northwestern Brandenburg with FM radio and analog television. Over time, the installation was modernized to meet the demands of digital transmission technology.

The tower serves as a central hub for local and regional radio broadcasters, transmitting news, music, and information daily to listeners across the region. Many people in the surrounding areas rely on the signals for their daily media consumption and have grown accustomed to the programs it carries.

The facility is not open to the public as it operates continuously and requires safety precautions around the transmission equipment. The tower remains visible from surrounding areas and serves as a landmark in the flat landscape.

The facility transmits signals across a large distance and reaches parts of four different states. This makes it important infrastructure for media coverage of a wide region extending beyond Brandenburg's borders.
