Since 1953 the radio transmitter Sender Pfaffenberg of Bavarian state broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk has been situated on the top of Pfaffenberg. The guyed tubular steel tower was 181 meters tall. In 2008 a second shorter tower was built for Freeview. On 16 April 2010 the old pipe tower was removed. The new concrete tower is 176.05 meters tall.[1]
