Utbremen transmitter

The transmitter Utbremen was put into operation on October 7, 1933 radio stations in the Utbremer street in Bremen . Until May 1939 he used a 14 mm thick bronze rope as a transmitter antenna, which was suspended inside a 90 meter high wooden tower. This was built by the Jucho company. In May 1939 this tower, which at that time had suffered major rot damage, was replaced by a 50 meter high round steel mast. A little later the wooden tower was destroyed by a lightning strike.

The round steel mast survived the Second World War unscathed. From June 1945 it served to distribute the radio program of the AFN . In 1950 it was dismantled and used to rebuild a radio station in Bremerhaven's Bürgerpark , where it was later replaced by a transmission mast that has now also been dismantled. The Bremen -Walle telecommunications tower is located at the location of the Utbremen transmitter.
