The transmitter Köpenick was a broadcast transmission system for short and medium wave in the forest between Berlin-Mahlsdorf and Berlin-Köpenick near the Köpenick locality Uhlenhorst , which is why it was also called "transmitter Uhlenhorst".
The Köpenick transmitter went into operation on July 6, 1952 and until 1984 used a 248-meter-high, self-radiating tubular steel mast insulated from earth as an antenna, also known as the J1 transmitter mast , and a grounded reflector mast of the same height, known as the J2 transmitter mast. A special feature of the system was that the mast, which was isolated from the ground, could be raised with the help of a hydraulic system if there was a risk that the base point insulator could be damaged by the sonic boom of military aircraft. There were also two triangular antennas attached to three 50 meter high guyed steel lattice masts, as well as a free-standing steel lattice tower that carried directional antennas for receiving the directional radio signal from the studio in Berlin-Adlershof .
From 1958, FM and TV stations were added. In 1984 the reflector mast, which was made superfluous by the Geneva wave plan , was dismantled and rebuilt in Wachenbrunn , where it stood until 2011. The old transmitter was shut down in 1993, dismantled and rebuilt as an exhibit in the Königs Wusterhausen transmitter museum . From 1993 the location was only used for low-power medium wave transmitters (sometimes also in DRM mode on an experimental basis) and VHF transmitters. The renovation of the antenna support of the Berlin television tower in 1997 and the construction of a new 120 meter high transmitter mast in Zehlendorf near Oranienburg finally made the system superfluous and the 248 meter high dilapidated transmitter mast was demolished on December 16, 2002.
The facility was not shown on the city maps of Berlin from before 1989.
