Deutsche Welle (DW) (German Wave in English) is Germany’s international broadcaster founded in May 1953 with around 3,000 employees and freelancers from over 60 countries. It has its headquarters in Bonn and its main studio in Berlin [2] and currently broadcasts in 30 languages.
History
Deutsche Welle first broadcasted with a speech from the then Federal President Theodor Heuss on May 3rd 1953[3] from the Nordwestdeutschen Rundfunks (NWDR) studio in Cologne on behalf of the broadcasters of the Federal Republic of Germany .
In 1956, DW took over the broadcasting regulatory responsibility from NWDR - which replaced the Westdeutsche Rundfunk (WDR) and Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). On the new broadcasting station Jülich the first shortwave transmitter becomes operational.
In 1962, DW - RADIO expands its programming with many additional broadcasting languages. The reportage tour "Cologne Kabul Express" takes the DW journalists to Afghanistan .
In 1963, DW begins to expand in Africa by broadcasting in Kiswahili and Hausa .
