Fürth Broadcasting Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The building of the broadcasting museum

The radio museum of the city of Fürth was founded in October 1993. For many years it was located in an outbuilding of the Burgfarrnbacher Schloss . Since the end of 2001 it has been located in a central and historically appropriate location in Fürth: on the site of the former headquarters (management building) of the Grundig electronics group .

The complete development of radio from its beginnings to the current state is exhibited here. Many old radios , but also tape recorders and televisions, make the exhibition seem alive. The following can also be viewed: measuring devices ( oscilloscopes ), studio technology ( sound technology ), as well as transmission technology ( transmission system - a 100 kW medium wave transmitter). The epochs of radio technology are shown on different floors. Special exhibitions expand the rich offer on special topics.

A museum café is located on the 2nd floor (entrance); the premises can also be rented for private events. The amateur radio station DL0RFM was located on the 4th floor of the museum until 2014.

In 1951/1952 the first television broadcasts took place from the tower on top of the building in southern Germany after the end of World War II.
