Transmission facility of "Deutschlandradio" (former RIAS)

The transmission facility of the newly-founded RIAS was built on a site in Britz in 1946 by the American military administration. Several temporary structures were replaced in 1948 with the current, 100-metre high steel Masts . These were later extended to heights of 160 m and 144 m.

Short-wave transmissions were made from Britz starting in 1949. In 1978 a medium-wave transmission aerial was added to allow better reception across the whole of the GDR 's territory, especially at night.
