Fernmeldeturm Nürnberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fernmeldeturm Nürnberg, the tallest structure in Bavaria, is the Nürnberg telecommunication tower, also called the Nuernberger Ei (Egg of Nuremberg) because of its egg-shaped tower basket in 185 metres, is 292 metres high and was built between 1975 and 1977. The tower basket accommodates transmission mechanisms for FM and radio relay link and - unfortunately closed since 1991- a rotating restaurant and a prospect platform. Responsible operator is the DFMG German radio tower GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom based in Münster. From 22 January 2003 to 4 April 2003 the Nürnberg telecommunication tower also served for the spreading of the program of megaradio on mediumwave frequency 945 kHz. For this a wire antenna was strung along the tower shaft, from the top of the tower to the roof of an operating building near the tower.
