Abandoned 1950s TV and Radio Station with Unique Architecture | Lost Frequencies Broadcast Center

[@jimchandler6744]

Beautiful equipment. That's the way they built radio studios and transmitter sites back then. Function AND beauty all in one. Thanks for the tour.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

this art around tech stuff is breathtaking. it’s a shame people cared about that kind of a beauty much more back then. we appreciate you stopping by to watch one of our videos. thanks, Jim :)

Absolutely gorgeous cinematography ❤

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

I'm glad you liked it, thank you for your nice words :)

[@exploreupstateny413]

I would have enjoyed working in a place like that. It should be preserved as a national historic site.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

an absolute dream job :) this place deserves a better future. thanks for watching.

Thanks to UT-er "The dark pirate stories" for posting video. From "drilling down" on Internet data, I recovered some details of station: Located in Western Europe (actual location redacted due to threat of thieves/vandals violating the place!) Medium wave service 2 150Kw Brown Boveri (BBC) transmitters. 1 20Kw Telefunken Shortwave transmitter. Thankfully the premises have been preserved, however the extensive antennae farm has been decommissioned and removed c2010. Same thing has happened in Australia; Radio Australia's impressive shortwave Shepperton site is all but gone and the land sold to developers. From a 1960's boyhood hobby of shortwave listening, it's sad to see these behemouth transmitting sites destroyed forever! cheers Frank in Australia😀

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

we're glad you liked it. thanks a lot!

[@Leesment]

Beautifully filmed, it almost looks like the place is still in use considering how good condition it is and that there's still equipment around.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

we've never seen a place like this before and we hope it will find its use again. thank you very much for watching :)

[@UrbanKiwiana]

You've always had a magical way of capturing a location my friend, And telling its story. Its crazy seeing all these places once buzzing with life and energy and now empty awaiting the next chapter of its existence.. I read a comment saying it had no factual information or no knowledge where it is. I have to disagree with that person. I learnt alot about it an I love you dont give away locations especially when they are untouched. The last thing any real Urbexer wants is to allow Vandals a new places to destroy...keep on doing what you do bro. Have a blessed week.

[@davidstone921]

Part of this is like walking down Memory Lane! I recognise some of the video equipment. This must be the 'Marie Celeste' of the broadcast world. I do hope that it can be preserved.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

It is one of the rarest and most unique places we've ever seen. people who worked there had to enjoy it, surely. based on your comment, we assume you are related to places like this and we believe you enjoyed it as well. thank you very much, David :)

[@ka4dqe606]

That is one beautiful building. I'd love to have that, as a laboratory to work. Great video and video work on your part. I look forward to checking out your channel. Thanks much

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

we’re glad you enjoyed it as much as we did. it surely would be an awesome workplace of some kind. feel free to roam around our channel :) thank you so much!

[@DirtboxJams]

Pure beauty.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

thanks a lot :)

[@jiiimmyjum]

Very interesting video - I like how spaced out everything is on that main floor

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

that main floor reminds us Fallout or some spaceship control room :) thanks a lot!

[@Unseen_Society]

Wow, you really captured this amazing place and shots are so, so good! I love the dull radio sound effects in the end. Probably better filmed than my shots, we'll see. Pirey, pirey, mmh mhh? 📻😏

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

nice to see you hair. you definitely need to shake out this abounded place. feng shui for your time.

[@awaismushtaq5719]

Excellent filming. Beautiful place. Who will abandon it and why? Just get a few creative people in there and they'll have it running in a few months again.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

this station deserve to be used again. such a beauty cannot be abandoned, we agree. thanks for watching :)

[@specialskillscz]

To místo je sen, bral bych ho všema deseti 😍😍😍😍

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

sme radi, ze sa ti paci, tak isto aj nam. povazujeme ho za jedno z najzaujimavejsich, ake sme kedy videli. dakujeme! :)

[@andy486ka]

Krásne miesto, dýcha históriou. Z toho by mohlo byť razom múzeum, tie pôvodné ovládacie pulty, technika, stroje - nádhera !

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

my toto miesto radime medzi tie najzaujimavejsie, ake sme doposial videli. urcite by si zasluzilo buducnost, aku spominas. dakujeme velmi pekne za pozretie :)

[@awaismushtaq5719]

Hey where is it actually located?

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

unfortunatelly, we cannot publish exact location, we hope you understand.

[@awaismushtaq5719]

@@TheDarkPirateStories I understand that and I can only hope whoever those guys were, they just spare some time to recover what they can and sell the rest, the stuff is still worth a good price. Thanks. Wonderful video!

[@willowsloughdx]

Very pretty scenes but the video is missing factual information. I learned nothing about who the broadcaster was or where this facility was located.

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

speaking of full documentary..if possible, we'd happily share its full story and everything. unfortunately, this place is left behind. that means..to reveal its location might lead to something we don't find pleasant for the future of the place itself. we're just trying to protect it..as we said on the video, it's all for the sake of a better tomorrow. thanks for understanding.

[@glitchisscience]

Nice video :)

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

thanks a lot :)

[@peterhofmann665]

Somewhere in the Netherlands?

[@TheDarkPirateStories]

we're sorry, we cannot publish more information, I hope you understand.

[@vid888vid]

'rauchen verboten' --- 'No smoking' in German... So the broadcast centre is in Germany.

[@fotoralf]

Let's say the Germans were there for a time.
