The telecommunications tower is named after the SWR station Koblenz the second tallest building in the Hunsrück and the third tallest building in Rhineland- Palatinate.
History
The plans in the early 1970s compared three different types for the telecommunications tower Koblenz: a telecommunications tower for a pure outside plant use, a telecommunications tower with a viewing platform and a restaurant with an additional. The different designs were estimated at 13.247 million, with 15.268 million and 24.601 million with Mark. The Post Ministry decided against the additional costs arising from the observation deck and the restaurant because there was no cost carrier. The need for an observation tower so far Away from the city center could not be clearly demonstrated. The final draft was produced by May 1972.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on 16 April 1974. The topping out ceremony was held on 13 December 1975. The construction costs amounted to DM 11.5 million, in addition to DM 11 million were again added for the installation of telecommunications. The tower, which is owned by the German radio tower and were removed in the asbestos to 2005 residues, is not open to the public.
This tower is primarily for expansion of radio relay network for telephone and data connections, and the transmission of television signals between television studios and television networks. He is also a transmission site for the mobile networks and an important entry point for cable television. The 1985 mounted top of the tower emits radio programs RPR1 and bigFM for the region Koblenz. Since 2002, Digital Radio is distributed via the transmitter on the Kühkopf. The telecommunications tower and the amateur radio Fonierelais DB0ZK (2 m, 70 cm and 23 cm) is housed. On 14 July 2008 a new antenna system on the telecommunications tower was installed, which supplies since August 26, 2008, the Koblenz region with DVB- T television signals and thereby increased the tower to 5.70 meters.

The shaft has an elevator and a reinforced concrete staircase with 784 steps to the tower basket.
The relatively wide, 40 meters in diameter, two-story control tower at 150 meters height is pierced by an upwardly tapered concrete shaft and thus acts like a giant toothpick.
