Fernsehturm Heidelberg
The Fernsehturm Heidelberg is a transmission tower for radio and television at the Royal chair. It is owned by the SWR (SWR ) and is used, among other things from this. From there, four FM radio stations of the SWR, two national DAB ensembles of Digital Radio West on channel 11 B with 10 kW, the nationwide DAB multiplex on channel 5 C at 10 kW, and the DVB-T range of ARD / SWR, ZDF radiated.
Due to its prominent location of the site is the tower itself is only 82 meters high (about 570 m above sea level, 430 meters above the Rhine valley ). The transmitter supply almost the entire northern Baden room, the front Palatinate and southern Hesse ( Rhine-Neckar region ).
In 30m height of the tower, built in 1958 has an unglazed viewing platform, which can be achieved by means of an elevator. The tower is currently being renovated, and the platform is closed to the public since 2002. The SWR who has bought the tower from the city of Heidelberg, currently does not provide for the reopening of the observation deck. In addition, the tower until 2002 was also used as a water tower. The water tank is located in the control tower.

After the Second World War, the TV broadcast operation of the first German TV for the Rhine- Neckar region was about 1948 for the first time made possible by a number of steel truss structures. These were replaced in 1958 by the current concrete tower.
