The transmitter Aachen-Stolberg is a transmitter of the West German Radio (WDR) for radio and television in Stolberg district Donnerberg in the North Rhine-Westphalia Aachen region . After the station Kleve, it is the second westernmost WDR station location. The facility is located on a ridge approx. 1 km east of Stolberg city center at an altitude of 285 m above sea level. NN . The antenna carrier is a 231 m high guyed steel framework mast that was erected in 1993. This transmission mast replaced an antenna mast erected in 1951, but it was isolated from the ground, as the Aachen-Stolberg transmitter was also a medium-wave transmission location until 1993 and used it directly as an antenna ( self-radiating transmission mast ).
The transmission area includes the Euregio Maas-Rhine , the Voreifel , the Jülich-Zülpicher Börde and the northern part of the DG in East Belgium. Due to the comparable antenna height with the Langenberg transmitter , the VHF broadcasts of the Aachen-Stolberg transmitter can still be received in good quality in the Cologne Bay and in the Bergisches Land .
The frequency of the medium wave transmitter , the operation of which was discontinued on December 31, 1993, was 701 kHz, or after the entry into force of the Geneva Wave Plan 702 kHz with a transmission power of 5 kW. The digital radio standard DAB + is broadcast from here on channel 11D .
