History
Radio Horeb is named after the biblical Mount Horeb on the Sinai Peninsula. The two mountains in the lower part of Radio Horeb's blue logo symbolize Mount Horeb and at the same time the viewer could recognize an “M” which stands for the Virgin Mary.
The "International Christian Broadcasting Association" (ICR eV), based at that time in Ingolstadt, received local broadcasting times as "Radio Neues Europa" in the mid-1980s FM frequencies in southern Germany. In Munich, the program from Radio Neues Europa was initially always available on Sundays. In 1995 the German priest Richard Kocher was elected chairman of the ICR e.V. Due to his work as the parish administrator of St. Anton in Balderschwang, the radio activities increasingly shifted to Oberallgäu. Radio Horeb's administrative center was later set up in Immenstadt im Allgäu.
On the feast of the Immaculate Conception (8 December) in 1996, the Österreichischer Rundfunk went on air for the first time a Catholic 24-hour radio programme, called Radio Horeb, via the Astra satellite. The radio station was modeled on Radio Maria Italy, which had quickly risen to become one of the most popular radio stations in Italy. In Munich, broadcasting continued over FM under the name “Radio Neues Europa”. In 2000 the name was changed to Radio Horeb Munich.
The program has also been broadcast in Leipzig via DVB-T since November 2007 (in regular operation since May 2010). Further locations were planned in Dresden, Chemnitz and Zwickau. The broadcasting operations in Berlin that started in September 2005 were shut down in January 2014. As part of the changeover to DVB-T2 at the end of March 2017, the broadcaster abandoned this transmission path and abandoned the remaining DVB-T locations.
On 18 August in 2008 the groundbreaking was in Balderschwang for a new studio, as a replacement for the previous studio in Almhof Lässer. A sixty square meter chapel is integrated into the studio.

Religious broadcasting, sometimes referred to as faith-based broadcasts, is the dissemination of television and/or radio content that intentionally has religious ideas, religious experience, or religious practice as its core focus. In some countries, religious broadcasting developed primarily within the context of public service provision, whilst in others, it has been driven more by religious organisations themselves. Across Europe and in the US and Canada, religious broadcasting began in the earliest days of radio, usually with the transmission of religious worship, preaching or "talks". Over time, formats evolved to include a broad range of styles and approaches, including radio and television drama, documentary, and chat show formats, as well as more traditional devotional content. Today, many religious organizations record sermons and lectures, and have moved into distributing content on their own web-based IP channels.
