The Junglinster and Beidweiller transmitter stations. Rest assured, contrary to the information published on many pages, the Broadcasting Center Europe has indeed received authorization to destroy antennas, but this only concerns the Beidweiller transmitter center and not the historic site of Junglinster.
The demolition work on the Beidweiller antennas should not, however, take place before the end of this year.
As for Junglinster, the classification as a historic monument unfortunately only concerns the main building and not the antennas, which are not original.
BCE is trying to oppose the classification measure, but nothing has been pronounced yet.
As for the site itself, it still has an importance for BCE for the teleport: the satellite antennas can no longer be located at the head office on the Kirchberg plateau, for urban planning reasons. As for the long wave antennas, apart from the historical and sentimental interest, they are no longer of interest to the ECB. They could possibly be used to support other modes of broadcasting or connections, provided that they are maintained.
On the other hand, the partial or total dismantling of the pylons would allow a very profitable real estate transaction to be carried out. Developers already have projects for this part of the land.
So nothing is decided yet to this day.
