Feldberg (Black Forest) - Television Towers

Television Towers

During the Cold War there were many antennas on a military tower at the peak, but these were removed some years ago. Today there is a big TV- and radio antenna, used by the local public station of SWR (Southwest Broadcasting). As well, one can recognize the mountain by the Bismarck-Denkmal, an old monument in honour of the famous 19th century chancellor of the German Empire.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or towers:

    It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.
    Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    Lay a beam between these two towers of such width as we need to walk on: there is no philosophical wisdom of such great firmness that it can give us courage to walk on it as we should if it were on the ground.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
