Heinrich Peiler towers.
Heinrich Peiler towers.
Hi,
From discussions in other threads I found that it might be in order to illustrate some aspects of subject. Heinrich Peiler towers were - at least in Denmark built in 2 versions. The "heavy" was normally used in Jägerleit Stellungen and the "light" was normally used in Fulgmeldemess Stellungen. The light has been documented in at least 3 versions, which I have called "low", "medium" and "high". Since the platform and hut a the top had a fixed size, the base of the tower got bigger the taller the tower. This explains why we find sockles which are 12 m apart and sockles which are only 7 m apart. Attached is also an "official" sketch of a foundation for a "medium light" tower.

Ich erinnere mich an ein Backsteingebäude, einstöckig, ca. 100 m² Grundfläche, etwa 500 m neben der Startbahn von Münster-Handorf. Das Haus wurde von Einheimischen in den 50ern immer "Peilhaus" genannt.
War das möglicherweise die Betriebs- oder Kontrollstelle für die "Heinrich Peiler"? Hatte ein solcher "Heinrich Peiler" daneben gestanden?

Hi Petzolde,
I came across the name "Peilhaus" in accordance to something which had nothing in common with the Heinrich-Peiler. I live at the area of former German airfield (Danzig-Langfuhr) and there also was some building which - on the old map - was descdribed as a Peilhaus.
To all:
More on the remains of "light" Peiler towers (in this case: at the Jaegerleitstellung) may be found in this thread:

If you look closely at the pictures you will see the the Peil-Hütte fits inside the foundation. The Hütte was a max of 25 square meters.
Many German airfields had a Tornado Peiler, which was used to assist aircraft during an instrument approach. Please also see:
http://www.gyges.dk/fliegerhorst_grove9.htm
which gives an idea about the ground infrastructure for a well equipped airfield (night/all-weather capable).

Are you sure that the sketch shows a "medium light" tower base? I'd rather say it's a "low light", because the distance between two adjacent socles is only 7 m.
I understand that the "high light" tower had this distance equal to 12 m, and the "medium light" = 10 m (as on the scheme drawn by Alkali at the Stoppleruebe JL-Stellung).

Yes in this case I am sure. The picture of the "light, medium" tower is from RINGELNATTER and I have found the foundation. It's 7 m. You might have had a "light, very high" version in Poland, we won't know until some pictures surfaces.

Hi SES,
Here an unique Y-Tower variant that you will not find in Denmark! For Y-Stellung Brennessel near the town Den Briel (NL) the local churchtower called 'Brielse Dom' was converted into an Y-Peiler tower. The other 4 Y-towers were 'Regelbau'.....
Enclosed are a pic of the churchtower with the peiler (badly visible) and a drawing on wich the Y-Churchtower can be seen in the back. Sorry for the bad image quality, but bad source=bad scan...
Best regards, Klaas
