Developed in the U.S., the diamond-shaped mast was specially designed to radiate radio waves in such a way that reduce fading.

The mast was destroyed by retreating German troops in World War II, but was later rebuilt in 1946.

In 1968 the tower was upgraded to serve the new 300 kW transmitter (amongst others, the ceramic base insulator had to be replaced to withstand the higher voltages).

Subsequently, it was nearly torn down in 1981, but widespread objections saved the tower, and later it became a protected industrial monument.

The medium wave frequency of 540 kHz with 150 kW was diplexed to the Lakihegy Tower in 2006 by Bernd Waniewski.
