The Krehberg transmission tower is located on the 576 meter high Krehberg in the Odenwald , approx. 10 kilometers west of Lindenfels . It is operated by Deutsche Telekom AG and is a transmission system for VHF broadcasting and directional radio .

A 102 meter high hybrid tower is used as the antenna support , which consists of a free-standing steel lattice tower on which a guyed steel lattice mast is placed.

The Hit Radio FFH program has been broadcast from this tower since 1989 .

watch TV

As far as today's television coverage is concerned, the area around the station Krehberg falls under the coverage area of ​​the station Würzberg .

In most cases, DVB-T reception from the Rhine-Main area is also possible. This is where the private broadcaster groups RTL and ProSiebenSat.1 come from, as well as a mixed private bouquet that also includes Tele 5 . A roof antenna aligned vertically at the Großer Feldberg im Taunus location is the best solution in this regard. Indoor or outdoor antenna reception may also be possible in favorable locations. After the DVB-T bouquet sent in Band III VHF was relocated to Band IV / V UHF at the end of 2011, DAB radio reception is then also possible in Band III VHF with an antenna in place.

By May 29, 2006 (nationwide introduction of DVB-T in Hesse ), the following television programs were also broadcast from this location:

The GRP cylinder, which was no longer required, was dismantled after the analogue switch-off, which reduced the height of the tower from 122 meters to 102 meters.
