The Rottenbuch radio tower or Peiting mobile radio tower is a Vodafone transmitter mast on the Schnaidberg between Peiting and Rottenbuch, southeast of it . It is close to the municipal boundary on the Peitinger area, but access is only possible via the Rottenbuch area.
height
At the time of its completion (June 2002), the wooden structure was 66 m high, making it the tallest wooden tower in Germany and possibly the second highest existing wooden structure in the world (after the 118 m high transmission tower in Gleiwitz ). Since then, however, there have been higher in Germany with the 100 m high tower of the Hannover-Marienwerder wind power plant (2012) and, for example, in Austria with the Bahnorama at Vienna Central Station (2010, 66.72 m) and the Pyramidenkogel observation tower (2013, 82 m without antenna) Wooden structures have been erected.
technical structure
The half-timbered construction of the tower is a laminated truss construction made of European Douglas fir . It is 66 meters high and is surmounted at the top by two metal rods by another 4 meters. Steel dowels are used as connecting elements. For technical reasons, these connection points and the inner platforms were made of galvanized steel. The entire construction is "left in its natural state", since no chemical wood protection was allowed to be used in the nature reserve .
Building history
On March 18, 2002, the excavation of the tower foundations began. Construction of the tower began on June 3, 2002. For this purpose, the preassembled lower halves of the framework structure were preassembled in pairs and then erected. Then the missing diagonal elements were drawn in. The construction was completed on June 21, 2002.
Upcoming demolition and replacement
In July 2020 it became known that the structure was irreparably damaged by ant damage and had to be demolished. A replacement building is to be built by 2022, for which it has not been decided as of July 2020 whether wood or steel instead will be the main building material.
