This is not the official web site of the museum!

The "Deutsches Rundfunk-Museum e.V" (German broadcasting museum) was located from 1967 to 1997 under the radio tower (Funkturm) in Berlin. Interesting exhibition rooms showed scenes of the early radio era: A typical radio store approx 1935, a typical living room approx. 1930, a air-raid shelter of WW II with a DKE (Goebbels snout), a studio of the Vox-House, a public television room approx. 1936, a living room approx. 1958. A postcard series published by the museum shows these exhibits, unfortuately this series is not more available.

After the move to Berlin-Adlershof there are no showrooms any more.

Since December 2000 the residence of the museum is located in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Only some of the objects are on display there. Visit the internet site of the museum.

In der Eingangshalle des Deutschen Rundfunkarchivs (DRA) sind einige Vitrinen zu sehen. Auch neben dem Haupteingang sind Exponate zu betrachten. Am Besten nach telefonischer Vereinbarung. Telefon-Nummer siehe unten.
