Königswusterhausen is famous as the birth place of German broadcasting. The first Christmas concert was transmitted from the "Funkerberg" using a Lorenz-Poulson transmitter on 22 December 1920. Around 1932, Franz Lindner printers had the idea of producing a set of cards about the radio station to be sold in bulk to other companies to include in their products. I have seen a covering letter which was sent with a sample set to the Bilz company in Radebeul. Bilz was offered the possibility of being the only company to distribute this set providing they agreed to buy enough copies. A million cards would have cost RM2.75 per thousand and 1000 albums would have cost 50pf each. Although the album has the above title, the covering letter gives the station call sign as "Achtung, achtung, hier Deutschlandsender Königswusterhausen".
The set appears to be otherwise unknown and so was presumably never issued.
