Demolition of the Bisamberg transmission masts


Until 2010, two transmission masts stood on the Bisamberg as part of the Bisamberg transmitting station. Built in the late 1950s, the taller of the two, at 264 metres, was the tallest structure in Austria. On 24 February 2010, both masts were demolished by controlled explosions, following the permanent shutdown of broadcasting operations shortly beforehand. Preserving the masts was not considered financially viable. Since then, the Danube Tower (Donauturm) has been the tallest structure in Austria.
