Position map

Nierstein transmitter

The transmitter Nierstein is a transmitter of the Südwestrundfunk (formerly the Südwestfunk ) for broadcasting radio signals.

The transmitter is located on the Hessian side of the Rhine, southwest of the town of Geinsheim am Rhein . This location in a different federal state was chosen because the area to be supplied, the places Nierstein and Oppenheim , is partly in a shaded valley due to the steep slope of the Rote Hang and can therefore only be supplied sensibly from the opposite side of the Rhine. A 138 meter high guyed steel truss mast with a triangular cross-section is used as the antenna carrier. This was built in 1981 after it was previously used as part of the Lake Constance transmitter and dismantled there in the 1970s.
