Typenturm

The individual series differ in each case in the number of antenna platforms and the size of the operating projectile.

The type towers were usually designed on the basis of economic and functional criteria and only secondarily for aesthetics.

Compared with structural steelworks, the reinforced concrete construction way is easier in the establishment and maintenance.

The establishment of these towers began in the mid-1960s, when the Federal Postal Administration developed its radio relay system clearly.

In the planning of the type towers engineer Fritz Leonhardt and the architect Erwin Heinle were considerably involved.
