- Frohnau
Frohnau is a locality in the
Reinickendorf borough ofBerlin ,Germany . It lies in the extreme northern part of the city.Founding and planning
Founded in 1910, Frohnau was created whole as a planned community, corresponding to the early twentieth century idea of a Garden City. Frohnau was founded in the Stolper Heath, which had been bought for the Berlin Terrain Commission by Count
Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck in 1907. The competition for the design was won by a plan developed by Joseph Brix and Felix Genzmer. Their concept represented an asymmetrical, seemingly natural development out of the dunes near theHavel River. Even the name "Frohnau" was determined by a contest. In 1920, Frohnau was annexed into the Greater Berlincity-state .The natural centre of the city has always been the train station and the nearby buildings. The casino tower serves as the symbol of Frohnau. The entire area is noted for its large mansion-like buildings.
The architects responsible for the typical mansions include Walter and Johannes Krüger (the Church of St. John), Hart and Lesser (train station and casino tower), Max Meyer (Buddhist house), Paul Poser, Max Scheidling, and Heinrich Straumer (better known for his work on Berlin's radio tower, "Funkturm").
Frohnau includes one of the tallest buildings in Germany: The "Richtfunkmast" (microwave radio tower) measures 358.6 m (1177 ft) in height and was built between 1977-1979. Up until
German reunification , this was the means for keepingmicrowave radio contact withWest Germany . The receiving tower on the West German side was inGartow ,Lower Saxony . Alongside the "Richtfunkmast" is a 117 m (384 ft) free-standing steel framework tower, which is dwarfed in comparison. This was built between 1970 and 1973, and had 18 m (66 ft) diameterparabolic antenna s to enable radio connection beyond thehorizon to Lower Saxony until 1995. Since 2002mediumwave digital radio transmissions have been tested in Frohnau at 1485 kHz. Since neither the "Richtfunkmast" nor the parabolic antenna tower was intended for mediumwave transmissions, an additional 10 m (33 ft) long-wire antenna was installed.External links
