Heusweiler radio transmitter

It was used by Saarländischen Rundfunk and with 1200 kW the most powerful medium wave transmitter in the ARD syndicat.

First a t-aerial was used, which was, in the same year, replaced by a 50 metre tall steel framework mast insulated against ground, which exists still today and serves as reserve antenna.

In 1948, a 120 meter high steel framework mast insulated from ground was built in Heusweiler.

The 1179 kHz frequency of Antenne Saar was switched off in the middle of the ARD night program.

After the end of the medium wave era in Germany, the facility in Heusweiler was shut down by Saarländischer Rundfunk.
