Utlandshörn
Utlandshörn is a district of the East Frisian city of Norden .
Utlandshörn became known because from 1931 until the cessation of operations in 1998, the headquarters and reception radio station of Norddeich Radio , probably the most famous coastal radio station in Germany, was located there. Between 1905 and 1998, radio calls to ships all over the world were transmitted from Utlandshörn as part of the maritime radio. The broadcasting center is dismantled today. The company building was used from 2004 to 2011 by Vivento Customer Services - a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom that operated a call center there .
Since about 2001 the radio technology museum Norddeich Radio e. Has been located in Utlandshörn in the last remaining original rooms of Norddeich Radio . V. The founder and chairman of the association is the former pilot Mustapha Landoulsi, who was awarded the Golden Antenna award in 2007 and who also has services in saving lives. At the end of the 1990s, on the occasion of the planned demolition of all antenna masts and system parts by Deutsche Telekom - and with the consent of the City of Norden, the State of Lower Saxony and the federal government - Landoulsi personally stood in front of the workers involved in the demolition and was thus able to prevent it that the last radio mast on the building in Utlandshörn was felled. To this day, Landoulsi and his non-profit association, which is entitled to issue donation receipts, operate the radio technology museum Norddeich Radio e. V. Numerous visitors - individual visitors, holiday guests and groups from the community college of the district of Aurich - can be explained the functions of the devices exhibited in the museum by the weekly enthusiasts and radio amateurs as well as former professional radio operators.
The antenna system for the transmitter was, as was customary with coastal radio stations, at a different location, namely on the Osterloog Warft in the northern district of Norddeich . The Waloseum, a permanent exhibition of the Norddeich seal station, is located in this building today .
