The Teutoburger Wald transmitter is a basic network transmitter of the WDR at 393.6  m above sea level. NN high Bielstein in the Teutoburg Forest southwest of Detmold ( Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia ). The transmission system with the 290 m high transmission mast is also known in the East Westphalia-Lippe region as the Bielstein transmitter .

Due to its exposed location, the technical range is very large. Their area extends from Braunschweig in the east, Eschwege in the southeast, Marburg in the south, over Bochum and Gronau (Westphalia) in the west to Bremen in the north.

history

The Bielstein has been a radio station location since 1951 . Until 1954, the Teutoburg Forest transmitter had a 60 m high transmission mast, over which an FM program with a transmission power of 3 kW was broadcast. This mast was replaced in 1954 by a 102 m high construction.

After a two-year construction period, a 298 m high tubular steel mast was put into operation in 1970 to close the remaining supply gaps. After a Pardune was torn off on January 15, 1985 at 6:26 am due to icing and squalls , it fell over. It was then replaced in 1986 by a 302 m high, guyed steel truss mast.

On April 6th and 7th, 2006, the transmitter was converted to DVB-T by replacing the top of the mast . This reduced the height to 290 m. The broadcast of the DVB-T signal began on May 29, 2006.
