Weinsberg radio transmitter, Radio transmitter station in Weinsberg, Germany

Weinsberg radio transmitter is a 70-meter concrete tower located on the northern peak of Galgenberg at an elevation of 295 meters. The facility distributes television and radio signals across the surrounding region between Heilbronn and Weinsberg.

The Südwestrundfunk facility started operations on July 1, 1976, establishing improved regional broadcast coverage in Baden-Württemberg. Since October 2018, the station operates using the modern DVB-T2 HD standard to transmit ARD and ZDF programs.

The site is a technical broadcast facility, not open to visitors; the 70-metre reinforced-concrete tower stands on the northern summit of the Galgenberg, about 250 metres east of the 301.7-metre north-peak summit in the Bürg district. Its antennas carry SWR radio and, since 24 October 2018, DVB-T2 HD multiplexes from ARD and ZDF, plus three multiplexes operated by Freenet TV.

The site sits on an elevated ridge offering clear views of the surrounding landscape, making the antenna structure visible from multiple angles. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the terrain is hilly with some uneven ground.

The facility uses a single frequency network system that distributes digital content uniformly across the Heilbronn and Weinsberg regions. This allows stable signal quality without frequency changes when traveling through the broadcast area.
