SWF3 was the pop wave of Südwestfunk (SWF) from January 1, 1975 to August 23, 1998 .
The program was discontinued in the course of the merger of SWF and Süddeutscher Rundfunk to form Südwestrundfunk (SWR) in August 1998 and replaced by the successor SWR3 .
In addition to the two SWF countries, SWF3 also included the area of Cologne and Saarland , which were always specifically mentioned in the weather report ("The weather forecast for Baden-Württemberg , Rhineland-Palatinate , Saarland and the Cologne Bight "). SWF3 also had numerous followers in the Hessian region into the Frankfurt area as well as in Siegerland and southern Sauerland ( Olpe district ).
SWF3 was produced in the house of radio in Baden-Baden . The same broadcast complex 3 was used, from which the successor program SWR3 was broadcast until August 2006.
Peter Stockinger was the program director for the entire 23 years of its existence .
history
On August 3, 1964, the third radio program of the Südwestfunk was founded via VHF . This first contained programs for foreign workers in Germany. On weekdays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. there were the first music broadcasts with the names "Stars and Hits -from Germany, -from France, -England, -USA, -Italy" , every day a different country. School radio, children's programs and, from January 1, 1970, Pop Shop , one of the most popular youth programs on German radio in the first half of the 1970s and a direct predecessor of SWF3, were added later . Initially, the Pop Shop was broadcast from 12:03 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., from autumn 1972 it was expanded to 5:00 p.m. Strictly speaking, it consisted of a program of music programs with various individual names (such as "Openhouse") and, on Sundays, hit parades (the "Top Ten") with German hits and international pop music. The first small studio (broadcasting complex 3) built using " self-propelled technology " was still located in the basement of the broadcasting house, had no outside windows and was very simply equipped by today's standards. The first moderators included the then editor-in-chief and “inventor” of the pop shop, Walther Krause , Frank Laufenberg , Guido Schneider and Karlheinz Kögel - the later founder of Media Control and L'TUR as well as the founder of the German Media Prize . After the start of SWF3, the Pop Shop was integrated into the program as a separate program and ran until 1995.
Between 1975 and 1985, SWF3 achieved record ratings , which were mainly achieved due to the younger audience, as there was no comparable ARD pop program in Germany, with a distinctive style of moderation, comedy , information and an almost consistent musical direction. Until April 1, 1980, SWF3 was only broadcast in mono on the network.
In terms of broadcasting technology, SWF3 was noticeably more advanced: In 1980, Südwestfunk switched the FM broadcasting chain to stereo broadcasting, and the studio had been technically prepared for this for some time. In 1986, when tape machines and in some cases the EMT studio record players were still used as the main sound source in most radio studios, more tracks were recorded from CD than from vinyl at SWF3. In 1992 the studio was converted to digital, the Radiomax computer program served as a music passenger and just a year later, SWF3 was playing more music from the Radiomax than from the CD. In 1997 practically all of the SWF3 music and contributions came from the computer. Since the end of 1995, music title and artist information can be read in the RDS radio text.
The SWF3 program ended on Sunday, August 23, 1998 shortly before 1:00 pm with the words “That was SWF3” (by Andreas Ernst , moderator of the last program). A listener hit parade was then broadcast together with SDR 3 for a week before SWR3 went on air on August 30th.

Program elements
SWF3 got its cult character through various comedy elements. Figures conceived and spoken for this purpose were: the North German Knut Buttnase, the Rhinelander Heinz Schniepelpuhl with his "Öölkännschen" (oil jug), the stiff Leberecht von Trottwitz, the slippery acurateur of the southwestern radio station Gotthilf Penibel, the " alternative " Mathias Müsli, Else Stratmann , Erwin Kubicke, Don Häberle von der Maultaschenkonaekschen, Strenzel the broker, Hein Piepenbrink (spoken by the US correspondent Gunnar Schulz-Burkel), King Dickbauch, Freddy Flop, Spitz- and Breitmaulfrosch, Frau Vierthaler, Marianne 0/13 or Taxi Scharia . The same goes for the radio comedy series Feinkost Zipp , whose phrases like “ Is that still fresh? "And" It belongs like that! “, Found their way into everyday language in the broadcasting area.
Gerd Leienbach and Michael Bollinger created and maintained the label Komische Zeiten from SWF3 . One of the classics from the SWF3 comic world was the Leienbach radio play Raumstation ARDia with Knut Buttnase and Heinz Schniepelpuhl in the leading roles. The figure of the "Ruhrpottproleten" Werner Chibulsky, created and spoken by Andreas Doms , also contributed to the station's popularity. Classic films like u. a. The boat was also prepared in a comedic manner.
The program-defining role of the comics, already a hallmark of the wave in SWF3 times, is also a feature of the new channel SWR3, also because important authors such as Michael Wirbitzky , Sascha Zeus , the voice imitator Andreas Müller , Kai Karsten , Stefan Reusch the station remained loyal.
In 1994 SWF3 started the New Pop Festival , which will continue after the merger of SWR3.

Lollipop
The night program Lollipop was one of the most successful and most popular night programs on German radio. Initially, the program was just the SWF contribution to the ARD night rock once a week. On the other nights, the joint ARD night program was also broadcast on SWF3. After the widespread start of private radio in Baden-Württemberg, SWF3 stepped out of the previous concept as the first ARD wave in December 1987. Instead, the night gap was closed with Lollipop and a dedicated program was designed 24 hours a day. Nevertheless, the program could still be heard on the previous date Geberwelle from ARD-Nachtrock (later: ARD-Popnacht) and thus throughout Germany.
In addition, from 1989 on, some ARD waves took over SWF3 Lollipop every night instead of the ARD night program, including Bayern 3 , SDR 3 and the Hansawelle from Radio Bremen . NDR 2 took over Lollipop for some time between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m.
The so-called C-Team ( Anke Engelke and Kristian Thees ) was also born in Lollipop .
Trivia
The Black Forest elk , which became the trademark of SWF3, was created from a doll's voice module - in this case a can that Möh made when you turned it over. The elk became Gerd Leienbach's moderation partner in the morning program SWF3-Litfasswelle and is also the best-known and most popular figure in SWR3 times, whose name is associated with pop radio.
Employees or the studios of SWF3 were the subject of several episodes of " Tatort ", which were produced by Südwestfunk. In the episode Death in Space from 1997, the wave plays an important role: The investigation into the death of a SWF3 reporter, then the murder case is solved with the help of a presenter (Anke Engelke, who plays herself). Large parts of the film were shot in the SWF3 studio in Baden-Baden.
