The transmitter Blauen (also: Fernmeldurm Blauen ) on the Blauen (also Hochblauen ) is a 96.5 meter high telecommunications tower built in 1985 by Deutsche Funkturm GmbH for VHF and radio relay in reinforced concrete construction ( type tower 14 ). There were protests against the construction, which at least managed to reduce the height. The plan was to be 120 meters. It is not open to the public.
The transmitter mainly supplies the southern Upper Rhine Valley and large parts of the districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald , Lörrach and Emmendingen . But the blue frequencies are still easy to receive in northwestern Switzerland. Until the end of the 1980s, the SWF programs of that time could be heard far beyond the Vosges . Due to international agreements with France as well, however, the transmitter's output to the west had to be reduced to a minimum.
The amateur radio relay DB0YE was housed there until the end of 2016 and moved to the roof of the neighboring mountain hotel under the new call sign DB0DB.
At the beginning of 2020, the operator was given permission to dismantle the 18-meter-high GRP top, according to which VHF antennas are cheaper to operate if they hang lower.
