Tower for Monitoring Radio Communications

The Cape Arkona (Rügen) Direction-Finding Tower is a former radio direction-finding station of the Reichsmarine (Kriegsmarine from 1935 to 1945) located on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; it served to monitor radio traffic in the southern Baltic Sea. The tower stands immediately next to the Jaromarsburg at Cape Arkona, on the Wittow Peninsula at the northern tip of the island of Rügen. The two Cape Arkona lighthouses are within sight.
