Nauen is a town in the Havelland district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is situated 38 km west of Berlin (centre), and 26 km northwest of Potsdam.
Nauen is well known as the location of a transmission site. It was used from 1906 to 1945 for VLF and shortwave. After 1945 the installations were dismantled, but after 1955 the GDR started building up at Nauen a shortwave transmission center. Since 1997 four turnable shortwave transmission aerials have been sited there.
