Wilsdruff transmitter

Until the 1990s there was a transmitter for 1044 kHz with 250 kilowatts transmission power.

This was a 153-metre guyed steel tube mast, insulated with respect to ground.

Since the mid nineties transmission power was only 20 kilowatts.

The whole facility is a relic from the Joseph Stalin era with a high fence (double fence with dog track and watchtowers) which is still almost complete.

The program "MDR info" transmitted from here on 1044 kHz until 2013.
