"Hello, here is Königs Wusterhausen on wave length 2700", this came crackling and rattling through the airwaves on the 22nd of December 1920.
From the Funkerberg in Könings Wusterhausen, only a few kilometres linear distance from Mittenwalde broadcasted the main station of the German Reich's post a Christmas concert live. From then followed regularly the popular Sunday concerts from KW, which were not only received by official places and by a great number of unlicensed listeners but also by radio enthusiasts from the neighbouring foreign countries.
The birthplace of radio broadcasting is today a notably history jewel.
So that the technique maintained a 'cool head' during broadcasting was the cooling tower built, which is not so easy to overlook.Sender- und Funktechnikmuseum
