Felsberg and Berus are two local parts of the municipality Überherrn in the Saarland in the proximity of the French border.
[edit] History
In Felsberg-Berus, the private, French broadcasting corporation Europe 1 operates a long wave transmitter on the frequency 183 kHz. This 2.000 kilowatt transmitter, which owes its emergence to the special political state of the Saarland in the 50's, is the strongest broadcasting station of Germany and one of the largest broadcast end plants of the world. A directional antenna consisting of four masts isolated against earth (radiation maximum in southwest direction) is used. The masts are 270 meters, 276 meters, 280 meters and 282 meters high and 1954/55 were established. The building, in which the transmitters are accommodated, is an architecturally remarkable prestressed concrete construction without supporting column, which stands today under monument protection. It has a length of 82 meters, a width of 43 meters, a height of 16 meters, a surface of 2700 square meters (including 1770 square meters of glass area), and a volume of 31000 cubic meters.
Like the transmitting poles 1954 were established. The heating of the building takes place via the waste heat of the transmitters. Before this building still another telecommunication tower is in reinforced concrete construction way, which originally for the spreading of the television program Telesaar should serve.
