    The Langenberg transmitter is a broadcasting facility of the West German Broadcasting Corporation (WDR) in Langenberg, a district of Velbert. (...) The Langenberg site is home to WDR's Central Transmitter Network Monitoring (ZSÜ), which controls large parts of WDR transmitter operations.

    The two transmission masts, which are about 650 m apart, are visible from afar. The larger one with a height of 301 meters is 244.4 m above sea level due to its location on the Hordtberg. NN also a popular destination. The 170 meter high second transmission mast is to the southeast near the village of Rommel.

    The VHF radio programs broadcast by the system can be received in good quality in large parts of North Rhine-Westphalia, the southern part of the Netherlands and the north-east of Belgium. With a catchment area of well over 10 million people, the Langenberger transmitter – alongside the transmitters on the Brocken and the Wendelstein transmitter – has the highest “technical range” of all German transmitters, so it can be heard by most people.

    The Langenberg location is one of the oldest in the history of radio broadcasting in Germany. The first medium wave transmitter was built in 1926 and was the strongest in Europe at the time. With the television station of what was then Northwest German Broadcasting (NWDR), which went into operation in September 1952, Langenberg is also one of the oldest broadcasting locations in German television history.
