Erching transmitter

The transmitter used a 256-metre-high (840 ft) guyed-steel-framework mast aerial, at the time of its inauguration the most powerful radio station in the world, with a transmitting power of 1000 kilowatts on 173 kHz.

The German Federal Post received a new frequency of 151 kHz for this transmitter and used it for broadcasting the programming of Deutschlandfunk.

Because directional radiation was required at night time, a second aerial mast had to be erected.

This was impossible because of the then-planned new Munich International Airport (opened in 1992), so the transmitter had to be shut down at night time.

Presently, the property is privately owned and let for film and photography.
