Transmitter Obereisesheim

The transmitter Obereisesheim was a digital medium wave transmitter of the Südwestrundfunk (formerly Süddeutscher Rundfunk ) for radio in digital DRM mode. It was built in 1952 and finally shut down on July 1, 2011. It is on the outskirts of Obereisesheim , approx. 600 m south of the town center and 500 m north of the federal motorway 6 . As a transmitting antenna, a 70 meter high, guyed in three levels, insulated against earth, fußpunktgespeister mast radiator was used as the steel truss structure is designed with a triangular cross-section. The transmission frequency was changed from 1169 kHz to 711 kHz in 1978 when the Geneva Wave Plan was introduced. By early 2010 he formed with the transmitter Ulm-Jungingen on the frequency 711 kHz frequency network . In June the station was switched to DRM and has since broadcast the SWR cont.ra program on the frequency 711 kHz . The transmission technology for the DRM broadcast was previously in use at the Wolfsheim transmitter . Until the Weinsberg-Galgenberg transmitter site went into operation in 1976, the Obereisesheim transmitter also broadcast the First German Television .

Shutdown and shutdown of the transmitter

On July 1, 2011 at 10 a.m. the station was finally switched off because the SWR had given up on the medium-wave stations in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate from broadcasting its information program SWR cont.ra , which was judged to be costly . Instead, he wants to concentrate on building a nationwide coverage of his programs via DAB + .

The transmitter was sold by SWR to a private, unnamed prospect via a real estate portal. The transmission mast was dismantled in October 2018.
