Deutschlandradio Kultur's roots go back to the first Deutschlandsender, set up in 1926. After World War II, Deutschlandsender became the main national radio station of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), with programming aimed at all of Germany. In the 1970s it was merged with the main Berlin station Berliner Welle and renamed Stimme der DDR - "Voice of the GDR". It lasted until February 1990 when it again became Deutschlandsender, and in May 1990 it merged with Radio DDR 2 and was renamed Deutschlandsender Kultur.

In 1994, broadcasting authorities in the reunited Germany decided to reorganise radio services of had been GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany.

Deutschlandfunk in the west (based in Cologne) and RIAS in Berlin were merged with Deutschlandsender to form Deutschlandradio.

In the new structure, Deutschlandfunk became the national information radio station for Germany. Deutschlandsender became "DeutschlandRadio Berlin".

On 7 March 2005, DeutschlandRadio Berlin became Deutschlandradio Kultur.
