The standardized type tower FMT 2/73 was built between 1976 and 1977 by the then Deutsche Bundespost as a replacement for an older steel lattice tower. For decades, it was by far the tallest structure in the Vogelsberg district,
until it was surpassed in 2008 by two 150 m high wind turbines in the Fleschenbach-Neustall wind park
near Freiensteinau.
Due to the switch to DVB-T, the analog channels ZDF
and hr-fernsehen were discontinued in 2006.
