Ostmarken Broadcasting AG


Ostmarken Rundfunk AG in the areas of the Ostmesse.

The Ostmarken Rundfunk AG (ORAG) was the first radio broadcast in East Prussia.

The broadcaster was founded on January 2, 1924, in a small barrack on the grounds of the Deutsche Ostmesse, a major fair. The broadcast began on 14 June 1924. In 1929, the city of Koningsbergen bought the shares of the broadcaster, making it the first city in Germany to have its own radio station.

In 1933 the transmitter was taken over by the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft. In Koningsbergen the successor Reichssender Königsberg was founded.
