The second tower

The transmitter Heidenberg is a transmitter of the Deutsche Telekom AG for the distribution of VHF radio programs, mobile radio and radio relay on the Heidenberg , an approx. 462 meter high mountain, which is located in the state forest east of the Kammersteiner district Neppersreuth .

The transmitter uses a 200-meter-high guyed tubular steel mast that was erected in 1963 as the antenna carrier . Its foundation is 457 meters above sea level. The VHF transmitting antenna for Star FM is at a height of 94 meters .

The analog TV program ZDF on channel 34 (360 kW) and Bavarian television on channel 59 (294 kW) were switched off on April 8, 2005 in favor of DVB-T broadcasting. The transmitters for digital television (DVB-T) are located on the Nuremberg telecommunications tower and on the Dillberg transmitter .

When the two analogue channels were switched off on August 31, 2005, their use as television channels ended. As a result, the GRP cylinder was dismantled by helicopter and the total height was reduced from 219.6 meters to 200.2 meters.

There is also a steel frame construction telecommunications tower near the transmission mast.
