The Langenberg transmitter is a Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) broadcasting facility located in Langenberg, a district of Velbert. In addition to the basic network transmitter on Band IV/V for digital television in the DVB-T2 HD standard, it houses additional transmitters for the broadcast of public and private radio broadcasts using analog (FM on ultrashort wave/Band II) and digital (DAB+ on Band III) technology. The Langenberg site houses the WDR's Central Transmitter Network Monitoring (ZSÜ), which controls large parts of WDR's broadcasting operations.
The two transmission masts, approximately 650 meters apart, are visible from afar. The larger one, with a height of 301 meters, is also a popular tourist destination due to its location on the Hordtberg mountain at 244.4 meters above sea level.[1] The second, 170-meter-high, transmitter mast is located southeast of it, near the village of Rommel.
