The Stettin transmitter was a broadcasting system in Stettin that began broadcasting in 1925. The power of the transmitter used, which worked on the frequency 1,059,337 Hz (wavelength 283 meters) in the medium wave range , was 500 watts and enabled reception with detector radios within a radius of 20 kilometers.

From 1929, the station broadcast the program of Funk-Stunden Berlin AG for the province of Pomerania . In 1934 a 93 meter high wooden tower was built for this facility. However, this had to be removed about 2 years later. From December 1936 to 1938 a makeshift antenna stretched between two masts served as a transmitting antenna. From November 18, 1938 until the facility was destroyed in 1945, a self-radiating 50-meter-high round steel mast served as a transmitting antenna.

After the Lucerne Wave Plan came into force in 1934, the station was incorporated into the "North German Single-Frequency Network " and from then until 1945 it transmitted the programs from Hamburg that were broadcast by the parent station Hanover .

The grid transmission mast erected in the city center, on the site of the old military churchyard , was blown up in 1945. After 1945, the Polish radio set up a new transmitter in Warszewo .
