Living in Central Europe, the countries you usually travel extensively are not really underrepresented and also very active on the T-List.

From my country Switzerland) I would like to see the Old Town of Lucerne on the t-list. On Germany's T-List I miss Rothenburg (on the FTWHS list). From the other countries I visit frequently I miss the Corinth Canal in Greece, and Aigues Mortes in near Nimes, France.

My list for Germany. The country is already well represented, but still some potential to fill some gaps.

- Olympic Park Munich

- TV tower Stuttgart
, the first TV tower built from concrete, and in my opinion the most beautiful tower basket
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernsehturm_Stuttgart
- Radom Raisting, the first terrestrial radio station in Europe for the communication with satellites, e.g. used for the live transmission of the first moon landing and the Olympic Games in 1972
http://www.radom-raisting.de/?view=article&id=94
- Liebig's Laboratories at Gießen, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig-Museum

Not sure about this - France has Pleumeur-Bodou and UK has Goonhilly Down (Unless you don't consider UK to be a part of "Europe"!!) both used for Telstar in 1962 and both are preserved monuments at National level
See

Moreso from travels of people I know and general research than my own travels, I've compiled my wish list for Ukraine. Some of the sites were (and maybe still are?) seriously considered for TWHS status, but most are not from what I can tell.

Cultural:
- Cucuteni–Trypillia Sites (transnational w. Moldova and Romania) [circa 6000–3000 BC]
- Scythian Neapolis (perhaps not very impressive but it is the best-preserved example of a Scythian settlement) [3rd century BC – 3rd century AD)
- Khotyn Fortress [10th–14th centuries]
- Lutsk Castle [14th century]
- Russian Imperial Palaces in Ukraine (e.g., Vorontsov Palace, Livadiia Palace, Masandra Palace, Dulber Palace, Kachanivka Palace, Popov's Manor) [18th–19th centuries]
- Malyi Galagov [1920's–1930's]
- Soviet Workers' Settlements (Sixth Village in Zaporizhzhia, district of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant in Kharkiv) [1930's]
- Khreshchatyk [most buildings from 1940's–1960's; a few from Imperial era survived]

Mixed:
- Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (including not only parts of Chornobyl and Prypiat but also the protected natural area around the cities)
- Kaniv Hills (essentially an extension of the questionable TWHS of Taras Shevchenko Museum and Preserve)

Natural:
- Bug Gard National Nature Park
- Caves of Ternopil Oblast
- Karadag Nature Reserve
- Oleshky Sands National Nature Park
- extension of Danube Delta (the Romanian part of which is a WHS already)
