Antenna
Between 1927 and 1935 this plant's transmission antenna was a T-antenna, which was spun between two freestanding steel framework towers.
In 1935 this antenna was replaced by a tower
built of wood, which became available at the change of the antenna system at
transmitter Ismaning in 1934 and which was rebuilt in Nuremberg-Kleinreuth after its disassembly.
On 6 April 1950 a guyed mast radiator went into service at Nuremberg-Kleinreuth. The now dispensable wood tower was demolished on 12 July 1961 because of decay.
Closure
On 15 September 1969 the Nuremberg-Kleinreuth broadcasting station was shut down, after the radio mast at
Dillberg had been equipped with a cage aerial for medium wave transmission and thus could overtake the function of the transmitter Nuremberg-Kleinreuth.
In 1973 the area of the transmitting plant was sold to the company Theisen KG, which allowed the remaining installations of the abandoned transmitter be demolished in order to build a factory hall there.
