Fortress "Burg"

Directional radio switching and switching center BURGIn fact, a former directional radio station of the Bundeswehr. It was shut down in 2009.You can find information about the station here: geschichtsspuren.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5583&start=60Quote from the website:
"On the Plettenberg near Schömberg (south of Balingen and west of Meßstetten) there was a radio relay station that was built as a temporary facility and because of the location often caused problems (so I was told). So a new high-altitude location was sought. The mountain Castle near Albstadt with a height of 970 meters was chosen. However, this did not meet with approval from every citizen of Albstadt. There were citizens' assemblies with representatives of the Air Force and also with the participation of a Parliamentary State Secretary in the BMVg. A compromise was that the building itself The height of the telecommunications mast was also reduced to just 40 meters. So construction began at the end of 1981. The 40 meter high spun concrete mast was erected in 1983 and the "Burg" radio relay switchboard was taken over in 1985. Plettenberg was switched off Allegedly, a further reduction in the mast height, i.e. below 40 meters, would have been a question of the Burg station posed. The stations Hornisgrinde, Dullenwang, Dietenwengen, Messstetten and Ilmensee had to be reached. "

Looked to me like a relic from the cold war but fortunately you could drive around it and had a nice view from behind
