The station was finally used for research purposes by the Physical Institute of the Technical University of Munich, where the first German ionosphere research station developed under the direction of Professor Jonathan Zenneck. Using high-performance emitters at various frequencies, scientists investigated the propagation of radio waves and their reflections on the layers of the ionosphere. After purpose-built antennas for pulse transmissions were installed, the long wave antenna was dismantled in 1934. A receiving station was installed in Kochel, a few kilometres away. Occasionally additional transmitting stations in Berlin-Adlershof, Amberg and Schwandorf were used.
