The most striking structure on the plateau of the Großer Feldberg is the 69.13 meter high television tower. The building was started in 1937 by the then Reichspost and completed in 1939. Since the transmission tower was used for war purposes, it fell victim to bombing raids on March 8, 1945. The reconstruction of the current building began in 1950. From 1953 onwards, Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk television was broadcast from here. Television and radio programs are still broadcast from here today - although the technology has changed several times. The tower is operated by the Telekom subsidiary T-Systems. The building has been a listed building since 1987.

The towers on the Feldberg are the landmark in half of Hesse. Whether from Elzer Berg, the motorway near Gießen or from the Ried. From all of these points, the towers immediately catch the eye and provide orientation

You can already see it as a signpost from the surrounding motorways quite clearly
