Position map

Kassel-Tannenwäldchen transmitter

The station Kassel-Tannenwäldchen is a transmitter of Deutsche Telekom for FM broadcasting service in the district Front west of the north Hessian city of Kassel .

Geographical location

The Kassel-Tannenwäldchen transmitter is located in the northern part of the Kassel district of Vorderer Westen on the high elevations of the Tannenwäldchen near the summit . It is located at 208 m above sea level. NHN north of Kölnische Strasse , west of Lenoirstrasse and a little south of Tannenstrasse , which runs along the steep north slope of the Tannenwäldchen and there on a bridge over numerous tracks of the Kassel main station . Part of the site is a water tank .

Transmitter

Although the transmission system is only used for low-power VHF radio transmitters, it briefly had three antenna supports consisting of two free-standing steel lattice towers and a prefabricated concrete mast. Now only the reinforced concrete mast, which was erected in the early 2000s and replaces the steel lattice towers, is left. While only private channels are broadcast from there, with the exception of Deutschlandfunk (DLF), there is still a low-power transmitter for Hessian broadcast programs at the Kassel radio station in the Bad Wilhelmshöhe district . The programs hr1 , hr2-kultur and the youth radio You FM are broadcast from there.

This frequency (88.9 MHz) is not expected to go into operation, since at the end of the 1990s this frequency was already assigned and put into operation by Freie Radio Kassel. However, there was strong interference from the frequency of 89.0 MHz emitted by the Brocken transmitter with a power of 60 kW, so that the program was switched to 105.8 MHz.

Former analog television (PAL)

In the past, private television programs were also broadcast here.

The main supply of public television and radio programs came and comes for Kassel from the Habichtswald telecommunications tower on the Essigberg . The Hessian private broadcaster Hit Radio FFH comes from there. Kassel is also supplied by the Hoher Meißner . In the case of DVB-T, digital terrestrial television, both locations are interconnected in a single frequency network (SFN).
