Wertachtal transmitter site, Radio transmission facility in Amberg, Germany.
The Wertachtal transmitter complex spans 200 hectares and contains 34 steel towers reaching heights of 125 meters for broadcasting operations.
The facility began operations in 1972 as Europe's largest shortwave broadcasting station, initially managed by Deutsche Bundespost before transitioning to Media Broadcast GmbH.
The transmission center supported multiple international broadcasters including Deutsche Welle and Voice of America, enabling worldwide communication through shortwave radio signals.
The site maintained 14 transmitters of 500 kilowatts each and two additional 100-kilowatt transmitters until its closure and transformation into a solar power station.
The facility transformed from a communication hub into an environmental asset, now generating 35 megawatts of solar power since 2017.
