The Weimar transmitter is a 54-meter-high Deutsche Telekom AG facility for broadcasting radio programs. The transmitter mast is near the Belvedere Palace , south of Weimar .
Originally the system was a transmission system made up of two self-radiating transmission masts isolated from earth . The Weimar transmitter was set up shortly after the end of the Second World War and went on air in 1946. Only one year later, the transmitter stopped broadcasting after the medium wave transmitter was built in Erfurt (Riethstraße); the transmitter in Weimar from then on only served as a reserve. After the Geneva Wave Plan came into force , another program came from Weimar: from there, the Berliner Rundfunk program was broadcast on 999 kHz with 5 kW. This only used the eastern of the two masts; the western mast was instead converted into a television fill transmitter for Weimar.
After the fall of the Wall , medium-wave transmission was discontinued. The now inoperable eastern mast was demolished in 2007 so that only the western mast is left.
