Nauen is
well known as the location of a transmission site (main article:
Nauen
Transmitter Station). 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.
