Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): This lattice tower stood until 1962 at Beromünster, where it carryed together with Beromünster Reserve Transmission Tower ( http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=44083 ) a T-antenna for mediumwave. In 1962, it was dismantled and in 1963 rebuilt at St. Chrischona in order to replace the old 30 metre tower. In 1984, it was replaced by Swisscom-Sendeturm St. Chrischona ( http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=44010 ), Switzerland's tallest tower.
Afterwards, it was dismantled.

Correction for "Tour d'émission Sottens a la Crestaz" ( http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=59497 )

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=59497 was demolished in 1989 and must therefore get the state destroyed.

According to Wikipedia Document, the new TV tallest Tower in Switzerland is 250.57m high, not 251m as here in SSP. Maybe this correction should be added to that structure. :cheers:
