Heart of the program is according to self-advertisement of the transmitter since March 2005 the six-hour radio feuilleton: On workdays from 9.00 to 12,00 o'clock and from 14.00 to 17,00 o'clock is located the current happening in art, culture and science in the center.

History

1994 became the Deutschlandfunk (Cologne), the RIAS (West Berlin) as well as parts of voice of the GDR and the radio GDR 2 (east Berlin), which as Deutschlandsender culture (DS culture) the turn had survived, under the roof of a public body named Germany radio united. Members of this body are pool of broadcasting corporations, Second Channel of German Television and all 16 Lands of the Federal Republic.

While the program of the earlier federal broadcasting corporation Deutschlandfunk was allowed to keep its name and its program structure, in Berlin under the line of the program directress Gerda Hollunder a completely new program was placed to Germany radio Berlin (DLR Berlin) on the legs -.

With the separating of the program directress on 30 April 2004 Dr. Mchler, the director of program of the Deutschlandfunk took, also the responsibility for DLR Berlin and began the work on a "“evolutionary reform"” citizens of Berlin of the program, whose listener number had remained visible up to then.

To 7. March 2005 went the reformed program under the new name Germany radio culture (without the enclosed Majuskel in the name) on transmission. The change of name is to document, according to transmitter, on the one hand the requirement, to be which country wide culture radio, and on the other hand the misunderstandings to eliminate, which were connected with the old name: Germany radio Berlin was noticed to often as mainurban regional transmitters, not as the second column of country wide, advertising-free sound broadcasting.

Transmission technology

DKultur becomes over UKW, DAB, medium wave and long wave (radiated from 2 to 5 o'clock at night in the DRM mode. In addition a short wave transmitter at the location Berlin exists. Over the branch RA satellite system DKultur is to be received both similarly and digitally.

The UKW Sendernetz is developed gradually. Only in parts of East Germany DKultur is radiated surface covering over strong UKW frequencies. In the old Lands of the Federal Republic however the range-strong frequencies were already to a large extent distributed with kind of sending. Therefore the program is dependent on relatively weak transmitters with small range in the cities. Therefore it is to be received practically only approximately around the cities. However gradually ever further frequencies are locked. | frequency list/| frequency map (pdf)
