Sender Altkünkendorf, Radio transmission facility in Angermünde, Germany.
Sender Altkünkendorf is a radio transmission facility near Angermünde with a 72-meter concrete mast located on Telegrafenberg hill that broadcasts FM signals across the Brandenburg region. The facility uses multiple transmission antennas mounted on the concrete structure to achieve broad signal coverage across surrounding municipalities and districts.
The facility originally stood as a steel lattice structure until 2004, when it was removed and replaced following the construction of the new concrete mast. This renovation enabled improved signal quality and more reliable coverage across the region.
The facility distributes radio programming across the Uckermark region, connecting residents through local broadcasts that bring news and music into daily life. It serves as a central point for media coverage of smaller communities in the surrounding area.
The facility sits atop a hill and is visible from various positions in the area, especially on clear days with good visibility. Visitors can view the structure from a distance, though direct access to the transmission facility itself is not available.
The facility maintains primary and backup transmission systems that ensure continuous radio service even during maintenance or technical issues. This redundancy was necessary to overcome the complex geography of the Uckermark Highlands with its valleys.
