The Golm transmitter was a transmitter for medium wave broadcasting in Golm near Potsdam .
The transmitter went into operation in 1948 as the central transmitter for what was then the state of Brandenburg . A 100 meter high freestanding wooden tower with a horizontal wooden cross on top was used as the transmission tower. Wires were stretched between the tips of the arms of the cross arms, in the middle of which the antenna wire led along the outside of the tower to the voting house under the tower feet. The antenna was thus a parallel connection of four T antennas.
The wooden tower used was not a new construction. It was 1936 in the " radio station Rehmate " in Zehlendorf (Oranienburg) / Rehmate as a transmission tower for shortwave built and was the only larger antenna structure, which after the end of World War II by the Soviet forces not as reparation was mined.
After the wooden transmission tower in Wiederau was blown up , this tower was the tallest wooden structure in the GDR . On October 25, 1979, the tower was blown up because it was in disrepair. As a replacement, two 51 meter high steel framework masts were erected, one of which served as an operational and the other as a reserve antenna and was operated by Deutsche Post . On August 20, 1992 the transmission was stopped and the masts were broken off in 1993/1994. At the place of the transmitter there is now grassland, with remains of the foundation of a mast still present.
