Britz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
