Hoher Bogen
The Hohe Bogen (archaically often Hohenbogen) is a roughly 8-kilometre-long mountain ridge in the Bavarian Forest. It rises in the Bavarian province of Upper Palatinate in the county of Cham and is almost equally divided between the municipalities of Neukirchen b. Hl. Blut, Rimbach and Eschlkam between Furth im Wald and Bad Kötzting. Its territory includes, from northwest to southeast, the summits of the Burgstall (976 m), Bärenriegel (1,017 m), Eckstein (1,073 m), Schwarzriegel (1,079 m) and Ahornriegel (1,050 m). On the Burgstall there is a transmission site, on the Schwarzriegel is an old Luftwaffe transmission tower. On the northern slopes of the Ahornriegel is a ski area. A double chairlift, 1.36 kilometres long, transports passengers through 393 vertical metres in 15 minutes and runs to the top of the mountain.

Radio masts and towers are typically tall structures designed to support antennas for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television. There are two main types: guyed and self-supporting structures. They are among the tallest human-made structures. Masts are often named after the broadcasting organizations that originally built them or currently use them. In the case of a mast radiator or radiating tower, the whole mast or tower is itself the transmitting antenna. Terminology The terms "mast" and "tower" are often used interchangeably. However, in structural engineering terms, a tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guys. Broadcast engineers in the UK use the same terminology. A mast is a ground-based or rooftop structure that supports antennas at a height where they can satisfactorily send or receive radio waves. Typical masts are of steel lattice or tubular steel construction. Masts themselves play no part in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with the countship. Definition The word ''count'' came into English from the French ''comte'', itself from Latin ''comes''—in its accusative ''comitem''—meaning “companion”, and later “companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor”.

In the late Roman Empire, the Latin title ''comes'' denoted the high rank of various courtiers and provincial officials, either military or administrative: before Anthemius became emperor in the West in 467, he was a military ''comes ...
