{{Short description|Transmission facility in Germany}}
[[File:Sender Inselsberg.jpg|thumb|Sender Inselsberg.]]
The '''Sender Inselsberg''' (transmitter Inselsberg) is an [[FM broadcasting|FM]], [[DAB+]] and [[television]]-transmission facility on the [[Großer Inselsberg]] in [[Thuringia]], [[Germany]]. It has two [[Antenna (radio)|aerial]] [[tower]]s, which were built in 1939 and 1974.

The transmission tower built in 1939 is a {{convert|43.31|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} freestanding cylindrical tower built of steel [[concrete]], which carried until the beginning of the 1990s similar to [[Gerbrandy Tower]] a [[Guy-wire|guyed]] steel tube [[radio mast|mast]] on its top. This mast carried the FM- and TV-broadcasting aerials.

Nowadays this mast is demounted and there are only small aerials for mobile phone services on its top. The tower is nicknamed because of its cylindrical form "thermos flask".

The transmission tower built in 1974 is a {{convert|126|m|ft|adj=mid|-tall}} freestanding steel tube tower on three feet. This tower which is similar to the tower of [[transmitter Brocken]], which was built at the same time, carries above its legs three platforms for aerials for directional radio services and in its topmost section, protected by layers of [[glass-reinforced plastic]], transmission aerials for FM broadcasting services and TV.
