Transmitter Trier

The Transmitter Trier went in service in 1932. It was situated at the Ruwerer Street 16 and used from its inauguration on February 19th, 1933 until the year 1935 as transmitting antenna a vertical cage aerial, which hung at a hemp rope, which was spun between two 60 meters high wood towers. In 1935 this antenna was replaced by a wire antenna, which was hung inside a 107 meter high wood tower.

Between 1932 and September 30th, 1936, there was also a studio in Trier, which was then moved to Koblenz.

Against end of war the technical installations of the transmitter were dismantled by the armed forces. In 1948 the wood tower was dismantled.

In 1950 a new medium-wave transmitter was built on the Petrisberg at coord|49|45|56|N|6|39|33|E|, which used as transmitting antenna a guyed mast built of lattice steel, which was insulated against ground. This plant was moved in 1958 toward Markusberg, where it was until 1974 in service.
