Luxembourg's Junglinster Radio Towers to be demolished
On November 6th, the masts in Beidler will be blown up.
At least for the 3 towers in Beidler, there is now certainty: They will be blown up on Friday, November 6th at around 3 p.m. Then the company Liesegang from Hürth (D) will detonate the explosives, and the necessary preparations for this are underway.
The 3 masts in Beidler belong to Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), a subsidiary of RTL Group. From 1972 until January 2, 2023 (1 a.m.), they sent longwave with RTL's French-language radio program to France.
The transmitter consists of three identical masts, which are 290 m high and are held up by guy ropes. Unlike the antennas of Jonglänster, which become wider at the bottom, those of Beidler do not remain standing, but must be held up by ropes, or rather supported.
Regarding Jonglënster: It is not yet known when the "steel lattice masts" will be demolished. They are 215 meters high. When they were built, from 1954 to 1955 and the third in 1959, they were 250 meters high, but were shortened to the current height of 215 meters in 1983. They have long been the reserve for Beidler.
