history
The station began operating illegally on May 18, 1980 as a pirate station with a transmission system borrowed from Freiburg's Radio Verte Fessenheim . The broadcasting location and studio was a hut village that opponents of nuclear power had built on May 3, 1980 on an occupied site and on which they had proclaimed the Republic of Free Wendland . The transmitter was active until the site was cleared by the police and the Federal Border Police on June 4, 1980 and last reported live from a tower. Before leaving the tower, the "radio pirates" destroyed the transmitter. After that, news from the anti-nuclear movement was broadcast weekly .
Since the evacuation of the hut village in 1980, the station has repeatedly been active in supporting the anti-nuclear power movement in Wendland . Radio Free Wendland was and is also on the air for the protests against the Castor transports in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011 .
