Since 1931, the site has been used as a broadcasting terminal of the German Reichspost, in the same building was the construction of the two 125 -meter-high timber tower with a distance of about 308 meters built (completion 05.Juli 1932). The vertical emitter between the masts was held by a hemp rope.

On October 28, 1932 the operation of the 120 KW medium wave transmitter took place. On January 14, 1934, there was a fire at the eastern wooden tower 98 meters high, cause: electrical charge.

In 1935, both wooden towers were demolished and replaced by a 150-meter-high Holzfachwerkturm (pitch pine) as a medium-wave antenna support. On October 27, 1953, the tower was demolished by blowing up.
