The former Waldenburg television tower is a 43 meter high water tower with a water tank of 300 cubic meters, which was built in 1959. Until the construction of the Waldenburg-Friedrichsberg transmission tower , it served the SDR , and from 1998 the SWR as an important VHF and television transmitter , and for this purpose carried a steel truss mast, which was anchored to the ground, with the corresponding antennas, which gave it a total height of 145 meters what made it the tallest water tower in Germany. The Waldenburg television tower was similar in its construction to the Gerbrandyturm in the Netherlands and it was the only concrete tower in Germany with an antenna mast on the top that was tensioned to the ground.
In November 2009, after the new Waldenburg-Friedrichsberg transmission tower took over its radio-technical tasks, the antenna mast was removed from the top.
