Sunset over the Saargau...

6 transmission masts of Europe 1, the French longwave transmitter (183 kHz), stand in Oberfelsberg. Here is one of the emergency masts (height 234 meters) at sunset.
12.09.2009 - Where the sun is just setting lies Thionville in Lorraine, and to the right on the horizon is the border with Luxembourg.

Hello Erhard,
a very beautiful and extremely interesting shot.
Then you could see all the way to Schengen from here, if I interpret the geography correctly.
Best regards to Saarland

Schengen is located in the valley, but the direction is correct. You can see the nuclear power plant in Cattenom and the RTL transmission mast in Dudelange.

Hello Erhard,
then basically a circle closes, there are some spots in the Ösling (e.g. Bourscheid, Grevels), where we can also see the Cattenom nuclear power plant and the transmission mast in Dudelange.
Best regards from Luxembourg.

Hello Erhard,
very beautiful picture.
However, I would have categorized it under Cities-Photos-Structures-Transmission Towers, as it fits the theme better; the other photo of yours of the transmission mast as well.
Regards, Rainer

@rainer: We live only a few hundred meters from the transmitter, so I have a lot of photos that will also be uploaded to the transmitter facilities section.
Best regards, Erhard

Broadcast mast Europe 1 at the France-Germany border on 06.10.2007 - The political status of Saarland in the 1950s made it possible to build and operate a French transmitter on Saarland territory (later FRG). The longwave transmission facility is one of the largest in the world. In the foreground is the border stone between Germany and France, accessible via the old border path from Berus. Here is the view from France (only 1 meter) into Germany. This view is no longer possible today because one of the transmission masts snapped in August 2012 and was completely demolished in November 2012. 

500 meters from our house, this view was offered on 11.11.2012. 30 minutes before sunset, the Bergenhalde in Ensdorf was still bathed in sunlight. View from Felsberg from the country road to Altforweiler towards Ensdorf. 
