history
In 1960 negotiations began between the Deutsche Bundespost and the city of Heubach to build a radio tower to expand telephone traffic and enable the second television program to be broadcast. The alternative locations were the Rosenstein , which was considered more suitable in terms of radio technology, and the later Glasenberg location, which was preferred in terms of landscape protection. During the negotiations, a viewing platform was initially agreed upon at a height of 40 meters and later at a height of 25 meters; the city gave the property to the Federal Post Office free of charge. The building contract was signed on December 27, 1962. The tower went into operation on January 1, 1966 and was 162.5 meters high at the time.
The analog distribution of the two television programs was discontinued on November 5, 2008, as they will be broadcast by the Aalen broadcaster in the East Wuerttemberg region with the start of broadcasting of digital television DVB-T . On January 11, 2009, the GRP cylinder with the television antennas that were no longer needed was removed, reducing the overall height of the Heubach telecommunications tower by 20 meters.
Furnishing
In contrast to most telecommunications towers without an operating pulpit, the Heubacher Turm has a public viewing platform, which is 25 meters high and accessible via a staircase with 139 steps. However, this platform is only sporadically open to the public. The Heubach local group of the Swabian Alb Association is currently responsible for the viewing platform .
The Heubach telecommunications tower belongs to the rare type D of the type towers of the former Bundespost, of which only five were built.
