Funkturm
The Funkturm in Wilsdruff is a significant landmark that deserves preservation.
The Förderverein "Funkturm Wilsdruff e.V." was founded on May 20, 2019, with the goal of saving the last remaining transmission tower of its kind in the area of the former East Germany.
Jürgen Juhrig, chairman of the Technikverein Wilsdruff e.V., congratulated Sabine Neumann on her election as chairwoman of the new association.

A student radio, modeled after the successful example in Cham, Bavaria, is planned as part of the preservation efforts.
