Sender Zehlendorf

Sender Zehlendorf is a radio transmission facility in Oranienburg with multiple broadcast masts and a tall main tower. The site contains buildings with straight lines, flat roofs, and structures made of brick, metal, and concrete.

The facility began operations in 1936 and was originally designed as a transmission center for regional broadcasting. It served as a broadcast location for various radio services over many decades.

The buildings reflect Bauhaus architectural style, incorporating straight facades and flat roofs constructed with brick, metal, and concrete materials.

The site is visible from outside the fence, with the tall transmission antenna recognizable from a distance. Visitors should note that as an active facility, the grounds have limited public access.

The main mast was severely damaged in 1978 after colliding with an aircraft and had to be rebuilt. This incident highlighted how vulnerable such tall structures can be to air traffic.
