From 1926 to 1932, Stadelheim was the location of the central broadcaster of the Bavarian Radio .

history

After Bavaria's first radio station went into operation with a temporary antenna in the Transport Ministry building in Munich on March 30, 1924 , the following year the first real transmitter was built in Stadelheim on a site next to the detention center . On March 1, 1926, the transmitter went into trial operation and on April 1, 1926, final operation.

Initially, a 2kW machine transmitter from C. Lorenz AG in Berlin was used as the transmission system . Due to technical problems, it was replaced by a 1.5 kW tube transmitter from the same company, which went into operation on March 19, 1927.

The transmitter used a T-antenna attached to two 100 meter high, free-standing steel lattice towers as the antenna . Since the steel masts impaired the radiation of the antenna, they were replaced in autumn 1926 by two 75 meter high timber lattice towers. On the night of November 22nd to 23rd, 1930, a storm buckled both towers and some buildings were damaged. On the same day, broadcasting was resumed with an emergency antenna that was stretched between the tower stumps. To replace the destroyed towers, two wooden towers were built at the turn of the year 1930/31 at a greater distance from the buildings, which carried a T-antenna.

After the Ismaning transmitter went into operation on December 3, 1932, the Stadelheim transmitter was only used as a reserve transmitter. During the shutdown of the Ismaning transmitter in November and December 1933 due to renovation work, the Stadelheim transmitter was likely to have been in regular operation for the last time.
