Dudelange Radio Tower, Communication tower in Dudelange, Luxembourg.
The Dudelange Radio Tower stands 285 meters tall with a steel lattice framework design, featuring transmission equipment for radio and television broadcasting across Luxembourg and neighboring regions.
Built in 1957, the tower suffered a tragic accident in 1981 when a Belgian military aircraft collided with it, killing the pilot and two engineers before being reconstructed the following year.
Operated by RTL, this broadcasting facility represents Luxembourg's commitment to modern telecommunications infrastructure and serves as a symbol of technological advancement in the post-war era.
Access to the tower is restricted to authorized personnel only, though visitors can view the structure from surrounding areas where it serves as a recognizable landmark in the local skyline.
The tower held the distinction of being Luxembourg's tallest structure until the 1981 aircraft collision, and it continues to broadcast RTL Radio Lëtzebuerg on frequencies 88.90 MHz and 93.30 MHz.
