Description
• From 1964 to the early 1990s, the tower was used for the realisation of an overhorizon-directional radio link toward the old federal republic of Germany. Therefore the tower was equipped with two parabolic dishes, mounted on the shaft of the tower, with a diameter of 18 metres. These aerials were removed in 1996.
• Close to the Fernmeldeturm Berlin there is a free standing steel framework tower, http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=82393, which also carried two 10 m parabolic aerials for the overhorizon-link to former Western Germany.
