Britz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Location of Britz in Berlin

Britz is part of the Berlin district of Neukölln. It is known for being the site of the transmission facility of RIAS, now Deutschlandradio.

[edit] 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.
