Sender Heidelberg-Wieblingen

The Heidelberg-Wieblingen transmitter was a medium wave and ultra-short wave transmitter . It is located on the edge of the Heidelberg district of Wieblingen near the federal motorway 5 and about five kilometers northwest of Heidelberg city center. A guyed, self-radiating tubular steel mast, insulated from the earth, was used as the antenna carrier. The transmitter is limited by a sewage treatment plant in the north, by the Neckar in the east, by a housing estate on Sandhofer Weg in the south and by an allotment garden in the west.

From here, radio programs for the US armed forces stationed in the Heidelberg region were broadcast on medium and ultra-short waves. The transmitter was shut down on April 28, 2014.
