Heinrich-Hertz-Turm
The Heinrich- Hertz-Turm is a telecommunication tower in Hamburg -St. Pauli, the main function of the radiation of radio and television programs and is considered one of the landmarks of the city. Named after the Hamburg-born German physicist Heinrich Hertz Fernsehturm impressed as widely visible landmark of the city skyline. Referred to in reference to the " Michel " St. Michaelis Church of the Heinrich - Hertz-Turm is often popularly referred to as Telemichel; colloquially also is mentioned frequently from the TV tower. Since 2001, the tower is no longer usable by the public as a lookout.
Location
The Hamburg TV tower stands west of the Outer Alster lake, opposite the park planet un Blomen before the new halls of the Hamburg Fair at Rentzelstraßenbrücke on the connecting track.
Specifications
The TV Tower was built as a so-called special tower from 1965 to 1968 in reinforced concrete way. For visitors, the tower was released as early as April 12, 1968; The official opening was followed on 1 May 1968., the architects of the tower, which was planned for 1958, are Fritz Trautwein, Fritz Leonhardt and Rafael Behn.
At an altitude of 204 meters of reinforced concrete part of the tower ends. In the steel lattice tower is built with the mounted radio and television transmitting antenna. The mast and the antenna together reach a length of 75.2 meters. The total height of the tower is 279.2 meters above ground, the total weight is 43,000 tons. Originally the tower without white paint. Only in the 1980s, the outer skin was fitted with a white protective coating, as at that time air pollution had an adverse effect on the building structure.
Once triggered the 2004/ 05 first concrete parts in 160 meters height in winter, consuming using two motor-driven frameworks of the outside has been renovated since the fall of 2005. At the same time got the steel grating part by sandblasting and priming a new red and white paint.
Facilities
In 128 meters, the tower has an observation deck with reflection-free glass for visitors, four meters above a platform that could be used for catering or events. The outer ring is rotatable and the bottom of this platform may rotate once around the tower axis within an hour. Viewing and Restaurant platform built together as a closed, two-story pulpit.
The pulpit with the larger diameter is the preferred height of 150 meters operating platform. It is not open to visitors, here the telecommunication installations of the tower are housed in enclosed areas.
About the work platform has six open-air platforms. They bear in telecommunication antenna equipment (mainly directional antennas ) of the tower. Another new platform (about four feet deep for satellite dishes for feeding into the cable network) came in mid-July 2005 in the amount around 25 meters - just above the Heinrich -Hertz- plate - added, as in the course of the trade fair hall, the original operating and reception building had to be demolished.
Terms and Condition
The dining and observation deck has been closed since January 1, 2001. After the tower had to be reorganized because of exposure to asbestos, was the owner - the German radio tower ( DFMG ), a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, based in Münster - can not find a new tenant for the premises. After four years of vacancy the spaces lost early 2005 the stock protection, so that the formerly publicly accessible areas of the tower would have to be first adjusted against the reopening of the tightened since its construction in 1968 emergency exit provisions for estimated five million euros - which serves as an escape stairs for example, would be expanded from the current 80 to 125 cm width. More about five million euros are to be estimated for the remaining expansion. The then District Manager of Hamburg-Mitte Markus Schreiber searched from 2010 for sponsors for a new use; a sale of the naming rights to the tower, he did not rule it. After the renovation, the rooms are noisy operator in the " shell " state.
By the end of 2001, the event company Jochen Schweizer ran a stationary bungee jumping station, which should be re-opened if the access would be there again. However, permitted after a fatal accident in 2003 at the Florian Tower in Dortmund the German radio tower GmbH no bungee jumping more on their towers.
Structural engineer have recognized a shelf life of at most 30 years in 2010 in the tower; , at the latest, the building structure is cured and is no longer able to respond elastically to the vibrations. The central location of a demolition of the tower is not an option, it would have to be removed. The transmission functions are assumed already to a large part of the radio station Hamburg- Rahlstedt.
Lighting
In the planning phase, there is a new night lighting design, in future, the open-air platforms and the antenna to be illuminated or illuminated, while as before over many years again provided spotlighting the tower from the base and spotlighting the bottom of the larger pulpit is. Beginning of March 2007 has been set up in collaboration with the ice hockey team Hamburg Freezers special illumination of the viewing platform by the artist Michael Batz. Similar to its Blue Goals project blue fluorescent tubes are used. The lighting served as an advertisement for the play-offs participation of Freezers and ran from March 5, 2007 for two weeks.
Normally warn (red ) fixed obstruction lights on the shaft (in 50 and 100 m), to the great pulpit and on the mast, and ( also red ) rotating strong obstruction lights on the lowest open-air deck and the upper third of the tower air traffic. If necessary, strobe lights can be switched on, which are located at the top of the mast and the mast base. The aviation obstruction lighting can be switched on and off by both the tower and from the Hamburg airport.
Radiated programs
One of the main tasks, the routing of telecommunication connections via radio links, is increasingly taken over by fiber optics and satellite links that originate directly from the user. Nevertheless, there remains the tower one of the most important infrastructure building without in Hamburg of mobile traffic, landline, TV, radio, police and customs were largely paralyzed.

TV
On 8 November 2004, most analog TV channels were shut down in the area of Hamburg / Lübeck and TV broadcasting to digital transmission changed (DVB -T). For this, the three almost 30 meters high and about four tons each encapsulated antenna segments were replaced by helicopter on 25 September 2004. The tower has since been five centimeters higher. Until March 1, 2005 for some public service programs were emitted parallel analog, then these remaining analogue channels are switched off. Since television programs are exclusively digital radiated in the Hamburg area.
