The telecommunications tower Blender is a transmitter in the Kürnacher Wald in the Oberallgäu district in Bavaria . The tower is inaccessible to the public.
Geographical location
The telecommunications tower Blender is located in the municipality of Wiggensbach , around 2 km south-south-west of its core town. It stands on the Rauhenstein , the southwest foothills of the Blender mountain ( 1072.3 m above sea level ), at an altitude of 1057 m .
construction
The antenna support of the transmitter is a reinforced concrete structure and 115 m high telecommunication tower . 175 tons of structural steel and 1000 m³ of concrete were used in the construction. The tower shaft is 5 meters (m) in diameter and 88.5 m high. The pulpit has a circumference of 16 m and the platform 1 located directly above it has a diameter of 12 m. Platforms 2 and 3 installed further above are identical with a diameter of 13.5 m. The 26.5 m high tower tower has a diameter of 0.95 m.
History and use
The tower was built by the Deutsche Bundespost in 1982/83 as a replacement for a slightly lower steel lattice mast as a type tower (FMT 15) and put into operation in October 1984 after the installation of the radio technology. At that time the Euro signal was sent here, which was emitted with amplitude modulation below the VHF range - a kind of analog pager forerunner without text. In 1988 the Deutsche Bundespost considered using the tower for RTL or SAT.1 as part of aerial television (channel 36), but this was never realized. The telecommunications tower was also proposed by the "Die Grünen" party as a possible replacement location for the planned transmitter mast on the Black Ridge, which could not be built for environmental reasons. This project also failed because of the Deutsche Bundespost.
In addition to directional and mobile radio , the Kempten regional radio station Radio Session Allgäu is broadcast. The tower also served as a cable head station for the Oberallgäu from 1983 to 2005. Today, the signals in the former Kempten telecommunications office in Bahnhofstrasse are uniformly implemented for Oberallgäu, Kempten and Ostallgäu. The amateur radio packet radio relay station of the OV Augsburg , which was previously located on the tower, was dismantled at the end of 2011.
