- Reception Tower Utlandshörn
The Reception Tower Utlandshörn was a 65 meter (211 ft) high wood framework tower built of
oak wood on the area of the radio reception stationUtlandshoern , a part ofNorddeich Radio coastal station (callsign DAN).This tower carried wire antennas of four arms on its top, which were manufactured of
teak wood, for the reception ofshort wave signals. It was built in 1935. In the middle of 1976 it was replaced by an antenna system, which was fastened on steel towers and which also does not exist any more.At the beginning of 1977 the tower, which was already one of the last large wood towers in
Germany , was knocked down with great care.From the wood of the demolished tower some carvings and ornaments were made.
