The transmitter Wöbbelin was a transmitter (short transmitter ) for medium wave broadcasting in Wöbbelin south of Schwerin . It was located in the eastern outskirts on Landesstraße 71 leading to Neustadt-Glewe. Today, the transmitter is reminiscent of the radio office buildings that have remained, which are protected as a monument, and the radio office settlement built for the employees of the radio office.
history
The transmission system was built until 1953 with two 120 meter high transmission masts , which came from a dismantled 250 meter high transmission mast from Königs Wusterhausen . On October 13, 1953, the broadcasting of the station Berlin III began with an output of 250 kW on the medium wave frequency 728 kHz.
Later (around 1963) a triangular antenna was installed for a second medium wave frequency.
In 1954, the radio office building was built on the site of the transmitter. In 1958, the construction of a housing estate, initially consisting of five two-story apartment blocks, began at the radio office. In 1959 a school was built at the radio office, which was demolished after the construction of the new school building in the village in 1994/95. In November 1972, one of the two transmitter masts was moved using a helicopter.
In 1990 the two transmission masts were replaced by two new ones of the same height. The radio office premises went to a private investor in 2003.
Since the entry into force of the Geneva Wave Plan in 1978, the program Radio DDR I with an output of 250 kW has been broadcast on the frequency 576 kHz . This caused massive interference in the evenings with the Mühlacker transmitter of the Süddeutscher Rundfunk in Baden-Württemberg, which was operating on the same frequency . The Berlin radio was broadcast on the frequency of 999 kHz with an output of 20 kW . After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 576 kHz frequency was taken over by Megaradio until this program had to cease broadcasting in 2003; the 999 kHz frequency was used by talk radio .
After the end of broadcasting operations, the masts were blown up on November 25, 2005.
