The Waghäusel telecommunications tower was built in 1971 in the Wiesental district of the city of Waghäusel . The tower has a height of 131 meters and was built using reinforced concrete . The operator is the German radio tower .

The telecommunications tower Waghäusel one of the five telecommunications towers of the type tower type series FMT 6, which in the 60s by Fritz Leonhardt and Erwin Heinle were planned on behalf of the then Federal Post and built.

description

The Waghäusel telecommunications tower is equipped with three platform levels: Platform 1 at 65.00 m, Platform 2 (lower edge of the operating floor) at 68.00 m and Platform 3 (upper edge of the operating floor) at 84.00 m. The total height of the type towers of this series was different. One reason for the rare occurrence of this type of construction is that the operating floor is significantly smaller than in the subsequent types and offers less space to accommodate the technology. On the first floor, a common room for employees, a workshop and storage rooms were usually provided. The telecommunications technology was on the second floor. At the time of planning, it was also assumed that telecommunications towers would have to be manned by operating personnel, which is why FMT 6 had a relatively large living and working area.
