History
The longwave transmitter graces its existence to the special state of the Saar territory in the fifties: self-governed, but economically linked to France. It was reintegrated to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1957 after a referendum of the Saar people. The transmitter was built in 1954, broadcasting since January 1, 1955. That's why it is nowadays located inside German borders.In 1959, one of its main masts has been relocated in vertical state [http://www.dxradio-ffm.de/web//TafelEuropa1.jpg] . This may be the tallest structure ever relocated without dismantling.
