The medium wave transmitter in Trier was launched in 1932. It was located at Ruwerer Straße 16 (today: Herzogenbuscher Straße) in Trier-Nord and from its commissioning on February 19, 1933 until 1935, it used a vertical trap antenna as a transmitting antenna , which was suspended on a hemp rope, which was between two 63 meters high wooden towers, which were at a mutual distance of 120 meters, was stretched. In 1935, this antenna was replaced by a 107-meter-high wooden tower with a wire antenna inside .
From 1932 to September 30, 1936 there was also a radio studio in Trier , which was then moved to Koblenz .
Towards the end of the war, the technical equipment of the transmitter was dismantled by the Wehrmacht. The wooden tower was dismantled in 1948. The street name Am Sender points to the former location of the Trier station to this day.
In 1950, a new medium wave transmitter was built on the Petrisberg , which used a braced steel truss mast isolated from the ground as a transmitting antenna. This system was relocated to the Markusberg in 1958 , where it was in operation until 1974.
