The Putbus transmitter was a medium wave transmitter , last operated by Media Broadcast , east of the town of Putbus , on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The transmission mast was a 51 meter high guyed, self-radiating steel framework mast with a cross-shaped roof capacity , which was insulated from the ground.
The transmitter mast was erected in 1960 and served to broadcast the program of Radio DDR I on the island of Rügen. With the start of the holiday wave , this was also broadcast by this broadcaster with partial time. The frequency was initially 1052 kHz, with the entry into force of the Geneva Wave Plan , the frequency was changed to 729 kHz, the output was 5 kW . In the 1980s, a few VHF filling stations were added, the primary aim of which was to provide radio coverage for the island of Vilm off the coast of Rügen.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Deutsche Bundespost built a new basic network transmitter in Garz / Rügen , from where the VHF transmitters were broadcast from now on. The NDR used the medium wave frequency in Putbus until 1996 for the NDR 4 program and then switched the transmitter off due to the nationwide VHF coverage of NDR 4 in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The frequency was later put out to tender for private broadcasters, but the winner of the tender never started broadcasting and so the license was withdrawn again.
Deutsche Telekom then converted the Putbus transmitter for DRM operation and started the first tests in 2001. At the 2003 International Radio Exhibition , the Putbus transmitter went into operation , this time digitally in DRM mode, for Deutschlandfunk . Deutschlandradio later changed the program and from then on broadcast Deutschlandradio Kultur on the frequency in Putbus. In 2010, Deutschlandradio then took the frequency in Putbus out of service.
Since the Putbus transmitter was the last functioning medium wave transmitter in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the responsible state media authority launched another tender in the hope of finding someone interested in this location. However, this tender was unsuccessful and the Putbus transmitter was dismantled in 2012.
