Citizens' house wave celebrates 25 years of local radio: a look behind the scenes!

A quarter of a century of local Radio and a tireless team - the community of the community center in Erkrath celebrates 25 years of broadcasting! It all started in 1999 with a call in the newspaper for using the Media room of the VHS. Since then, Volker Förster, Jan Sundermann, Wolfgang Scheurer and Angela Hauk have been tirelessly active to offer the listeners exciting content. Jan Sundermann remembers the "bumpy start" when a small group of radioenhusiasts came together. Erkrath now reports that the first broadcast was broadcast around the Neanderthal Museum in 2000. Since then, numerous interesting contributions and guests, including prominent moderators, have become part of their success story.

This means that the wave of the community center remains a lively example of the diversity and enthusiasm of Erkrather Citizens' Life, which has conquered the waves for a quarter of a century.
