The Baden-Baden transmitter was a medium wave transmitter of the Südwestrundfunk (formerly the Südwestfunk ) for radio on the northeastern outskirts of Baden-Baden .
The original transmitter mast was a 50 meter high transmitter mast, which was located between today's Zeppelinstraße and Markgraf-Christoph-Straße. From here the SWF broadcast the first program on the frequency 827 kHz with a power of 1.5 kW in single wave with the transmitters Freiburg , Kaiserslautern , Koblenz and Trier since 1948 . With the entry into force of the Geneva Wave Plan , the Baden-Baden transmitter switched to the frequency 1485 kHz, now with an output of 1 kW.
After the area around the transmission mast had been built on, the SWF had to give up the old location and in 1987 built a new transmission mast near the valley station of the Merkurbergbahn at the foot of the Merkur mountain . A 50-meter-high steel lattice mast was used as the antenna carrier, which was guyed to Tensegrity cables. After the founding of the S4 Baden-Württemberg program , the SWF, later the Südwestrundfunk, used the Baden-Baden location to broadcast the regional program Ortenau-Mittelbaden, later Ortenau Radio. From here he then distributed the information program SWR cont.ra , most recently only between 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. (Saturdays and Sundays between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.).
On October 15, 2010, the transmitter was switched off due to cost-cutting measures. The facility has since been demolished.
