Drawing of the former wooden transmission tower from Ismaning, which was rebuilt in Kleinreuth near Schweinau in 1935 without the 39 meter high base

The Nürnberg-Kleinreuth transmitter was a transmitter that was built in 1927 in Nürnberg - Kleinreuth at the former Rundfunkstraße 24, now Franz-Hoffmann-Straße 1 (formerly Sigmundstraße 181), in order to supply the northern Bavarian region with radio programs in the medium wave range .

Between 1927 and 1935 this system used a T-antenna that was stretched between two 75-meter-high, free-standing steel lattice towers . In 1935 this system was replaced by a 124-meter-high wooden tower made of South American pitch pine , which was dispensable when the antenna system of the Ismaning transmitter was converted in 1934 and was rebuilt in Nuremberg-Kleinreuth after it was dismantled. As a transmitting antenna, he used a shrinkage-reducing, voltage-fed dipole. In April 1945, the wooden mast was damaged in an artillery fire, with two main pillars being shot through. The mast could be repaired so that the radio transmitter could start operating again on November 22, 1945.

On April 6, 1950, a second antenna carrier in the form of a 100-meter-high, braced steel truss mast, insulated from the ground, was put into operation in Nuremberg-Kleinreuth. The now dispensable wooden tower was blown up on July 12, 1961 because it was dilapidated.

On September 15, 1969, the radio station Nürnberg-Kleinreuth was shut down after the transmission mast on the Dillberg had been equipped with a trap antenna for medium wave and thus could take over the function of the system in Nürnberg-Kleinreuth.

In 1973 the area of ​​the transmitter was finally sold to the company Theisen KG (today: Hoffmann Nürnberg GmbH), which had the now decommissioned systems demolished in order to build a workshop there.
