Germany

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

Ehndorf transmitter was a mediumwave radio transmission mast located at Ehndorf, a village west of Neumünster in Schleswig-Holstein, Federal Republic of Germany. Owned by Deutsche Telekom, until 1978 the facility broadcast Deutschlandfunk on 1269 kHz (1268 kHz). It went into service in November 1967 at a power of 600 kW (then one of the highest powered transmitters in Europe), reduced to 300 kW in 1995. On 31 December 2015 all mediumwave transmissions of the Deutschlandfunk ceased at 2350 CET. The Ehndorf antenna has 2 masts to allow directional radiation at night (the same frequency is used by a station in Novi Sad, Serbia). Both masts are groundfed 65 metres (213 ft) tall lattice steel constructions guyed in one level.
