The Schwerte Telecommunications Tower is an impressive 158-meter-high tower located in the Schwerte Forest, east of the Dortmund district of Sommerberg. This tower, built between 1977 and 1978, primarily serves to transmit radio and television signals and is not open to the public. It is operated by Deutsche Telekom and is a type FMT 13, a standardized type of tower for telecommunications technology.

The tower is not only a technical structure but also a prominent landmark in the region. Its location in the forest makes it visible from many locations, and it provides an interesting backdrop to the landscape. The Schwerte Telecommunications Tower is part of a network of towers that contribute to communication and signal transmission in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Although the tower itself cannot be visited, the surrounding area of the Schwerte Forest is a popular local recreation area. Here, visitors can hike and enjoy nature while observing the tower from a distance.
