Reichenbach/O.L. (Sorbian: Rychbach) is a town in the Niederschlesischer Oberlausitzkreis district, in eastern Saxony, Germany. It is located near Görlitz.

[edit] Broadcasting station in Reichenbach/Oberlausitz

Reichenbach since the end of the 1920s has a broadcasting station. It originally served as a free-standing wooden tower. It became a transmitter tower serving radio. Later, the tower was replaced by a transmitting pole which was renewed in 1999. The Reichenbach transmitter radiated at 1188 kHz with an output of 3 kilowatts.

The location is right next to Reichenbach and forests are a little further from the tower.
