Exactly 100 years ago, Chemnitz was home to one of the first radio clubs in Germany as part of the “Deutsches Funk-Kartell”.

For this reason, an event on the history and visions of wireless communication will take place on February 1, 2024, in the Chemnitz University Library together with the OV Chemnitz-Süd S54. The event will be opened by the director of Chemnitz University Library.
Topics of the lectures:

• 100 years of Radioclub Chemnitz. From a radio craft club to a modern amateur radio club in Chemnitz,
• Carl Wilhelm Bangert: Mentor of radio in Central Germany and Chemnitz,
• Amateur radio – from hobby to vocation,
• The audion test permit. The Audion – practical function,
• Radio technology and the mobility of the future.

As part of the activity “100 years of the German Funk Kartell” the Chemnitz radio amateurs use the callsign DR100FK.
