The Herford transmitter was a small transmitter of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk for medium-wave broadcasting on the Eggeberg in Herford-Schwarzenmoor. Today, a newly built transmitter tower broadcasts on FM and DAB+.
In 1946, a 50-metre-high lattice mast was erected on a slope near the sports field in Eilshausen near Herford, over which the medium-wave programme of the then Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk was broadcast. The transmission equipment was located in vehicles that belonged to the German soldiers' radio station "Ursula" during the Second World War, which had last broadcast a propaganda program for German soldiers from the East Prussian Rauschen. After the end of the war, it was taken over by the Reichspost, which built the transmitter in Eilshausen. After the transmitter on the Egge went into operation on 15 March 1950, the mobile transmitter was sold to the British Rhine Army.
