Observation Tower Baden-Baden Merkur


The observation tower Baden-Baden Merkur is an observation tower on the Merkur mountain near Baden-Baden at 8°16'50" E and 48°45'52" N. This tower is used since April 8th, 1950 by the former SWF (now SWR) as transmission tower for FM-radio and since 1953 as TV transmitter. At the end of the seventies the tower was completely renovated. At this the radio technical equipment was expanded. A underground equipment room for radiotechnical equipment was built and on the site of the tower showing away from the valley a concrete tower was built, which forms with the old observation tower a unit. In this tower also an elevator for visitors was installed. The new tower built between autumn 1980 and December 1982 is a 23 metre high steel concrete construction carrying a 40 metre high aerial mast with FM- and TV-aerials on its top. Therefore the tower has a total height of 63 metres.
