The Rottenbuch Radio Tower is a transmitting tower of the Vodafone company, sited between Peiting and Rottenbuch in southern Bavaria, Germany.
The framework tower, a glued girder binder construction made from European Douglas fir timber, is 66 meters high. The structure is held together by steel pegs.
On 18 March 2002, tower construction was started with the excavation of the tower foundations; on 3 June 2002 building of the tower structure began. For this the lower elements of the framework construction were pre-assembled in pairs and then put in place. The missing diagonal elements were then added afterwards. On 21 June 2002, the construction was finished. At this time, the Rottenbuch Radio Tower was the highest wooden tower in Germany.
As of July 2020, a newspaper report said that the tower has to be demolished due to irreparable damage by ants. A replacement tower was planned then to be erected until 2022 In December 2020, this was decided to be a steel construction. The construction of a replacement tower has begun on May 14th, 2024 and was completed in May 2025.
