The transmitter Hannover-Hainholz was a transmission system of the Reichspost in Hannover-Hainholz , which went into operation on August 13, 1933. It broadcast the NORAG program from Hamburg. The construction became necessary due to the increased performance of all transmitters in Europe .
The Hanover-Hainholz transmitter had a transmission power of 1.5 kW. His 90 meter high timber lattice tower, built by the Paul Metzger company, carried a shrinkage- reducing transmitting antenna and was surrounded by three 25 meter high towers with air traffic control lights.
The location was the grounds of Henning Boetius & Compagnie's Hanoverian glassworks on Hüttenstrasse in Hainholz, which had ceased operations in 1929.
Shortly after completion, the tower had to be reduced to a height of 60 meters due to a request from air traffic control at the then Hanover-Vahrenwald airport , which deteriorated the supply. After the Hemmingen transmitter went into operation in 1940, the wooden tower of the Hainhölzer plant was removed.
