history

On October 7, 1974, broadcasting operations in Keula began on the site of the current transmitter. The mobile 5 kW medium wave transmitter broadcast the program of Radio DDR 1 on the frequency 557 kHz. It was operated until February 1975 by colleagues from the operating office 6412 of the Leipzig radio office. From March 1975, the colleagues at the Erfurt radio office took over the broadcasting operations. It was blasted with a 50 m steel lattice mast. With the frequency change in 1978 to 1575 kHz, the program was broadcast by Berlin radio. In the mid-1980s the frequency was changed to 1170 kHz. After the fall of the Wall, the transmitter was demolished.

In 1993, a new, 180 meter high guyed steel truss mast was erected at the same location .
