Transmitter Berlin-Tegel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Transmitter Berlin-Tegel was a broadcasting facility for medium wave in Berlin-Tegel, Germany It was built in 1933 and used as an aerial wire hung up in a 165 metre high tower of wood framework. In 1940 the height of the tower was reduced to 86 metres. On December 16, 1948 the tower (and a guyed mast under construction, which was intended to replace the tower) was demolished, because of concerns of endangering the air traffic of the nearby Berlin-Tegel airport, which was under construction at the time. The transmitters were moved to Koenigs Wusterhausen and installed there. Nevertheless, the transmitter building is still standing.
