The Transmitter Trier went in service in 1932. It was situated at the Ruwerer Street 16, Trier, Germany and used from its inauguration on February 19, 1933 until the year 1935 as transmitting antenna a vertical cage aerial, which hung from a hemp rope, which was strung between two 60 metres high wooden towers. In 1935 this antenna was replaced by a wire antenna, which was hung inside a 107 metres high wood tower.
Between 1932 and September 30, 1936, there was also a studio in Trier, which was then moved to Koblenz.
At the end of the war the technical installations of the transmitter were dismantled by the armed forces. In 1948 the wooden tower was dismantled.
In 1950 a new medium-wave transmitter was built on the Petrisberg at , which used as transmitting antenna a guyed mast built of lattice steel, which was insulated from ground. This plant was moved in 1958 toward Markusberg, where it was until 1974 in service.
