Time stands still here.
In summer the sun burns, the light wind and the smell of nature and freedom make a break here unforgettable.

History and facility

DateConstruction phaseJanuary 1966Start of planningSeptember 1977Start of construction workMay 1, 1982Start of trial operationDecember 9, 1982CommissioningJanuary 1, 1984Start of operations2019Completion of modernization

The transmitter system was built on the former Westermoor shooting range from September 1977. Telefunken was commissioned to provide the technical equipment. The special conductivity of the Westermoor played an important role in the choice of location. The permanently moist soil enables the good grounding required for the radiation of long waves, and the long waves can also spread optimally due to the flat terrain structure. To establish a transmission connection to submerged submarines, a low transmission frequency and a high radiated transmission power are required. In 2007, more than 50 soldiers and technicians as well as almost 40 civilian employees worked at the facility.
