The telecommunication tower Berlin-Schaeferberg is a telecommunication tower on the shepherd mountain, not accessible for the public, in the southwest of Berlin, which was established between 1961 and 1964. The telecommunication tower Berlin shepherd mountain is 212 meters high, about which the height of the tower shaft amounts to 187 meters. At a value of 101.6 the tower possesses meters up to 132.44 meters an operating projectile, in which mainly radio relay link devices are accommodated. From 1964 to beginning of the 1990er years served it for the realization of over horizon microwave links into the old Federal Republic of (remote station: Peat house in the resin and Clenze in the Lueneburger heath). For this the tower carried meters of diameters at its shank, which were dismantled 1996 for two parabolic antennas with 30. Because of these antennas, which cause an enormous wind pressure, the telecommunication tower Berlin shepherd mountain had to be substantially more stably built than the comparable Florianturm in Dortmund and the Stuttgart TV tower. Besides still another free standing steel framework tower in direct neighbourhood of the tower, which was in the meantime dismantled and also 30 meters of parabolic antennas for over horizon radio relay link carried, existed. Besides and serves the tower served also for conventional microwave links and for the spreading of television programs as well as radio programs within the UKW range. Starting from 2001 it served also for DRM transmissions in the medium-wave band on the frequency 1485 kHz. Since the tower is not conceived by medium waves for the radiant emittance, for this a long wire antenna was installed.
