History
Nauen is well known as the location of a transmission site. It was used from 1906 to 1945 for VLF and shortwave. After 1945 the installations were dismantled, but after 1955 the GDR started building up at Nauen a shortwave transmission center. Since 1997 four turnable shortwave transmission aerials have been sited there.
