history
With the program of today's Bayern 2 , the VHF broadcasts from Ochsenkopf began in October 1950 . The Asenturm initially served as an antenna carrier before a 22-meter high lattice tower was built in 1951 . When the Ochsenkopf broadcast the first German television five years later , Bayerischer Rundfunk built a 50-meter-high tube mast that fell victim to a storm in 1958. In the same year, today's reinforced concrete tower was completed.
The total height was 163 meters until September 2008. With the conversion to DVB-T, the tower received a 25-meter-high GRP cylinder . The tower is a total of 191.5 meters high, the tower diameter is 22 meters at the foundation and 2 meters at the top.
The television tower with the ARD television station on channel 4 in VHF band I made it possible to receive western television in large parts of the GDR , even some residents of Leipzig and Dresden , the " valley of the unsuspecting ", with the help of a so-called ox - head antenna .
