Jülich radio transmitter, Broadcasting station in Jülich, Germany
The Jülich radio transmission facility contains ten powerful transmitters, each generating 100 kilowatts through dipole arrays mounted on steel framework towers.
Deutsche Bundespost received control of the site in 1961 to establish Deutsche Welle, marking Germany's entry into international broadcasting services.
The transmission center served as Germany's primary outlet for worldwide communication, connecting German programming with international audiences through shortwave broadcasts.
The facility now leases its transmitters to non-German broadcasting organizations, operating on both shortwave and mediumwave frequencies at 702 kHz.
British entrepreneur Bob Edmiston purchased the entire transmission complex in 2006, leading to its transformation from a state-operated facility to private ownership.
