Sender Heringsdorf, Radio transmitter in Heringsdorf, Germany.
Sender Heringsdorf is a transmission site of Deutsche Funkturm in Heringsdorf on Usedom, built around a free-standing tubular steel mast erected after reunification on the spot of the former medium-wave mast. It carries FM radio, DAB+ and DVB-T2 HD, the latter in HEVC and Full HD since 8 November 2017, broadcast in a single-frequency network with other sites.
The site first served as a low-power medium-wave transmitter broadcasting Radio DDR I and the Ferienwelle holiday programme on 1584 kHz at 1 kW. After reunification the mast was demolished and a new free-standing tubular steel mast was built in its place. On 8 November 2017 regular DVB-T2 HD operation began, replacing DVB-T, in HEVC and Full HD within a single-frequency network.
The site began as a low-power medium-wave transmitter on 1584 kHz at 1 kW, carrying Radio DDR I and later the Ferienwelle holiday programme for Usedom's Baltic coast. Today it broadcasts analogue FM, DAB+ digital radio and, since 8 November 2017, DVB-T2 HD television in HEVC and Full HD, limited to public-service channels.
The site stands in Heringsdorf on Usedom, operated by Deutsche Funkturm; the mast is fenced and not open to visitors, so it is seen from public paths and the beach promenade nearby. Since 8 November 2017 it has broadcast DVB-T2 HD in Full HD using HEVC coding, in a single-frequency network with other sites, and only public-service channels are carried.
The mast standing today is not the original: the medium-wave mast was demolished after reunification and replaced by a new free-standing tubular steel mast at the same site. Until then the station broadcast Radio DDR I and the Ferienwelle holiday programme on 1584 kHz with 1 kW.
