The Saarburg transmitter is a transmitter of the Südwestrundfunk for VHF radio and television . In addition, other operators of radio services such as mobile phone providers or authorities also use this SWR transmission system. The transmitter is located on the Schodener Geisberg, which belongs to the municipality of Schoden, with a 245 meter high guyed steel truss mast as an antenna carrier. The mast is the tallest structure in the Trier-Saarburg district . The mast was built in 1985/86 by the then Südwestfunk on the grounds of Gehöferschaft Schoden as the successor to the high in this area on 15 December 1961 in operation taken 110 meter transmission tower. After the new mast was completed, the previous transmission system was dismantled.
