Eilvese transmitter, Radio transmitter station in Neustadt am Rübenberge, Germany

The Eilvese transmitter features a central tower that extends high into the sky, supported by multiple steel masts for long-wave radio transmission.

Built between 1911 and 1913, the 260-meter main transmission mast stood as Germany's tallest structure until its demolition in 1931.

The transmitter marked the first direct wireless communication between Germany and the United States through a telegram from Kaiser Wilhelm II to President Wilson.

The transmitter site maintains one original office building, which now functions as a residential property, with foundation remnants visible in the surrounding peat bog.

The facility achieved enhanced transmission power due to its strategic location on a solid sand island within the Totes Moor wetland area.
