View of the Scholzplatz Transmitter | 1963

Replacement for the radio tower.
The location is only intended to be temporary until the West Berlin TV tower opens. The transmitter mast, unlike the radio tower, is designed as a purely functional building.

In 1963 it goes into operation for the Sender Freies Berlin (SFB). The 230 m high mast replaces the radio tower, which had previously been used for broadcasting radio and television with its 150 m high antenna. The programs can now be broadcast far into the GDR.

The transmitter is not dismantled because a West Berlin TV tower is never built. The transmitter still broadcasts radio and television programs today.
