Fernsehturm (Berlin TV tower) is located in the heart of Berlin, built between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the German Democratic Republic, as both a functional broadcasting facility and a symbol of Communist power. MBS87 will create a bus rental service in Berlin to visit this Berlin TV tower. Please join MBS87.
Brief history of the formation of Berlin TV tower
In 1952, at the European Broadcasting Conference in Stockholm, responsible for coordinating radio frequencies in Europe, the German Democratic Republic (at that time most countries did not recognize this country) politically) was allocated only two frequency channels.
Therefore, the waves cannot cover all of Berlin. For comprehensive and continuous coverage, a large and powerful broadcasting facility is needed and at the highest possible location. With the initial aim of providing the best possible broadcasting services, many initiatives have been proposed by many leaders, but most of them encounter some arising problems, such as cost, location, etc.
In 1964, the government requested the construction of a tower right in the city center. Walter Ulbricht, leader of the Socialist Unity Party, which ruled East Germany, decided to authorize the construction of a television tower modeled on the Fernsehturm Stuttgart (the world's first telecommunications tower) and the Sputnik satellite ( first artificial Earth satellite).
And finally, the Berlin TV tower was built and inaugurated and put into use. However, after the reunification of Germany in 1990, many opinions believed that it was necessary to destroy this tower. However, the Federal Republic of Germany decided to retain this court.
Deutsche Telekom (a German media company), as the new operator, decided to spend 50 million marks to remodel the broadcasting facilities and renovate some details. The antenna was renewed at a stronger rate, and the tower's height was also increased, from the original 365 meters to 368 meters in the summer of 1997.
