    The Prussian optical telegraph was the longest telegraph line in Europe. The plant is referred to as the beginning of telecommunications in Germany. The stations were on average about 9.6 km apart, with a maximum distance of 16.0 km and a minimum of 2.1 km.

    The replica of a wing telegraph is on the Potsdam Telegrafenberg, right next to the photographic refractor. Telecommunications began in Germany with optical-mechanical telegraphy. The Royal Prussian Optical Telegraph Line is also jokingly called “The King’s Cell Phone”.
