Berlin-Tegel radio transmitter

The Berlin-Tegel radio transmitter stands 86 meters tall and features a wooden framework design that distinguishes it from other communication structures in Berlin.

Constructed in 1933, the tower's height was reduced from 165 meters to 86 meters in 1940 due to safety considerations for the developing Tegel Airport.

The structure represents the evolution of German radio communication infrastructure, serving as a central point for medium wave broadcasting throughout multiple decades.

While the transmitter building remains intact, access to the site requires navigation through Reinickendorf district using Berlin's public transportation system.

The French military ordered the bombing of the tower's upper section in 1948, leading to the relocation of transmission equipment to Königs Wusterhausen.
