Localization of Bavaria in Germany

The Kirchheim / Schwaben transmitter was a facility of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation that was put into operation in 1950 to broadcast a radio program on the medium wave frequency 1602 kHz with a transmission power of 20 kW in Kirchheim in Swabia and was only in operation at night. The transmitter used as transmission antenna a 108 meter high, insulated against earth itself radiant steel truss mast with a square cross-section. The Kirchheim / Schwaben transmitter was shut down in 1969. The transmitter was located on a hill about 700 m east of the outskirts. A factory has been located on the site of the former transmitter since 1970. Only the name "Senderweg" for the access road still reminds of the transmitter.
