On the Rotbühl , near the town of Hainstetten , the Deutsche Funkturm , a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG , operates the Amberg transmitter , also known as the Hirschau 1 radio transmission point , for digital television ( DVB-T ) as well as VHF and DAB radio.
A 127.6 m high, guyed steel truss mast, the foundation of which is 667 m above sea level, is used as the antenna carrier .
On November 25, 2008, this transmission mast was converted to digital television DVB-T. On September 26, 2018, the broadcast of television programs based on the DVB-T standard was terminated. The changeover to the DVB-T2 HD process took place.
Furthermore, the program of Radio Ramasuri is broadcast on VHF 95.3 MHz .
history
After the transmitter project originally planned on the Mariahilfberg in Amberg was abandoned because it would only have served a small area with good reception quality, an approximately 50 m high VHF transmitter was built on the Rotbühl . Almost the entire area of the Upper Palatinate could be reached from here. The broadcasts of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation could be transmitted wirelessly via VHF to the headquarters of the broadcasting area Northern Bavaria in Moritzberg near Lauf / Nuremberg from the time the tower went into operation . From there the program was distributed to the individual stations via DF antennas. Next to the transmission tower was a farm building with operating rooms and a small apartment for the transmission manager as well as bedrooms for the transmission technicians. At the end of 1959 the transmitter was shut down because shortly before the transmitter Dillberg and Ochsenkopf had been expanded with high radiation power.
In May 1965 the new transmitter went into operation. In September 1985 a new mast system was installed. The height of the mast was then 130 m.
