The Schnaitsee telecommunications tower is a 158.5 meter high telecommunications tower that is not accessible to the public. It replaced a 115 m high steel framework mast.

Until 2005, the telecommunications tower in the Garting district served as the basic network transmitter for ZDF and Bavarian television and supplied large parts of Upper Bavaria.

The location hit the headlines after the erection of another transmitter mast with a 50 W mobile radio transmission system due to allegations from a farmer living in the immediate vicinity, among others, that he has had a very poor sleep and that his cows have produced less milk since they were put into operation. Critics of the facility attributed this to electrosmog caused by the transmitter .
