The electromagnetic spectrum has no theoretical limit at either end. If all the mass/energy in the Universe is considered a 'limit', then that would be the only real theoretical limit to the maximum frequency attainable.

Russia, Prussia, both in the East :D When Nipkow was born in 1860, there was no state called Germany. Lauenburg (near Danzig, now Gdansk) was a small town in Prussia.
