Deutschlandfunk is a public-service radio station based in Cologne, Germany. It is part of the ARD network and broadcasts a wide range of programming, including news, culture, current affairs, and music. It is one of the most popular radio stations in Germany, with an estimated weekly reach of over 10 million listeners.

Deutschlandfunk was founded in 1945 as a successor to the former Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG), which had been dissolved by the Allied forces. It was initially broadcast in the American occupation zone, but soon expanded its reach to the entire country.

Deutschlandfunk broadcasts a variety of programming, including news, current affairs, culture, and music. It also produces a number of popular radio shows, such as "Kultur heute" (Culture Today), "Kultur am Wochenende" (Culture on the Weekend), and "Kultur aktuell" (Culture Now).

Deutschlandfunk is also known for its commitment to public service broadcasting. It is one of the few radio stations in Germany that is not owned by a commercial broadcaster, and it is funded by the German government. This allows it to maintain its independence and provide unbiased news and information.
