The Transmitter Trier went in service in 1932. It was situated at the Ruwerer Street 16, Trier, Germany and used from its inauguration on February 19, 1933 until 1935 as transmitting antenna a vertical cage aerial, which was fixed at a hemp rope, that was spun between two 63 metres high wooden towers, 120 metres apart. In 1935 this antenna was replaced by a wire antenna, installed in a newly built 107 metres high wooden lattice tower. After its inauguration, the towers, which carried the hemp rope with the cage antenna were dismantled. Between 1932 and September 30, 1936, there was also a studio in Trier, which was then moved to Koblenz. At the end of the war the technical installations of the transmitter, which stopped broadcasting on February 28, 1945, were dismantled by the armed forces.
