history

View from the television tower over the Großer Dreesch to the Schweriner See (1985)

Even before the Großer Dreesch prefabricated building area was built in 1971 , the construction of a radio transmitter began in 1957 in the former forest area of ​​the Zippendorf district . The purpose of this facility and other broadcast towers in the GDR that were built during this period was to set up a radio relay network and broadcast the second television program on GDR television. In addition to the television tower, which was opened in 1964 and planned by Günther Kollmann (VEB IPRO Berlin), the 273-meter-high transmission mast, over which German television and VHF programs were broadcast as early as 1957 , the technology and the administration buildings were built. The viewing platform and the tower café had been open to the public since July 1, 1964. The transmission technology was housed on the floors below the café.

In 1971 the steel lattice mast at the top of the tower was replaced by a cylinder made of glass fiber polyester (GFP). After the fall of the Wall , radio operations were transferred from the GDR's Deutsche Post to the Deutsche Bundespost . At this time, extensive renovation and renovation work on the building and the technology was necessary, which had priority over the gastronomic use, which is why the tower café was closed from 1991 to November 28, 1999.

On November 25, 2017, the Turm-Café was closed for economic reasons. The tower has not been open to the public since then.
