The Ebbegebirge telecommunications tower (formerly also known as Sender Lüdenscheid) is a transmitter on the Waldberg (about 635 m above sea level ) in the municipality of Herscheid near Lüdenscheid . It belongs to the German radio tower (DFMG), a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom . It was built in 1983 and is 150 m high.
The reinforced concrete tower (also known as a type tower ) serves as a directional radio station and cell phone location. The broadcast of the ZDF and WDR television programs ended on November 12, 2007.
Instead, DVB-T broadcasting began a day later at the WDR broadcast tower Nordhelle , only about two kilometers away .
