The transmission mast is two kilometers northeast of the earth station on the Längberg (310 meters above sea level). The transmission mast is used to send out radio and television broadcasts, but also to direct radio-relay-based telecommunications, such as the transmission of telephone calls, to and from the earth station in the surrounding area. The height of the tower and the antenna on it is determined by the need to be able to transmit and receive signals over a large area without interference. The transmission mast is a modified telecommunications type (FMT) 16 with four platforms but no service floor. The tower shaft itself is 111 meters high, with the mast on top, the transmission mast has a total height of 137.5 meters. The platforms are at 79, 85, 92.5 and 100 meters above sea level. The lowest platform has a smaller diameter than the other three. There were several mirrors on the individual platforms, most of which were dismantled by Telekom after they were shut down.
