The first shortwave broadcast from DW took place on the 3rd day of May 1953. It included an address by the then West German President Theodor Heuss.
The headquarters for Deutsche Wekke were originally in the West German city of Cologne. Following the reunification of Germany, DW's headquarters moved to Bonn. East Germany's international broadcaster Radio Berlin International (RBI) also ceased broadcasting at this time. Some staff from RBI joined DW, while DW acquired some of RBI's broadcasting facilities and frequencies.
