Blosenbergturm

The Blosenbergturm is a 1937 finished Tower of medium wave transmitter of Swiss Radio DRS in Beromunster. The tower was part of the national transmitter Beromunster.

Description

The Blosenbergturm is a self- radiant, insulated against ground transmission tower, which has a cabin height of 150 meters. In the cabin there is a coil through which the isolated from the rest of the tower spire was supplied separately by top feeding with high-frequency energy. Originally Blosenbergturm was used as a dipole antenna, which were the elements for the infeed and adaptation in the cabin.

With its height of 217 meters, it is - according to the St. Chrischona television tower and the national transmitter Monte Ceneri - the third tallest tower building in Switzerland. The foot of the tower is located at an altitude of 797 m. By 1995, the Blosenbergturm was completely painted red and white. Today, the lower 40 feet are painted gray-green.

Flight safety firing the Blosenbergturms has a special feature: during the twilight first, an orange rotating lights, located above the cabin, put into operation. When night falls, this lamp switches off and the red tower attached to the flight safety lamps are switched on. At the risk of fire on top of the tower you could see if the transmitter was in operation or not, because it went out during a performance is not completely due to the radiated electric field energy.

The tower was declared a National Monument in 2009. He will be rehabilitated and should get a webcam. A redesign of the museum is in agreement.

In addition to the Blosenbergturm stood until 2011, the Reserve end tower Beromunster.
