### About the museum

The Wilhelm Foerster Observatory is a combination of public observatory and large planetarium that is unique in Europe. On clear nights, visitors to the observatory on the rubble mountain Insulaner can discover planets, moons and galaxies. The planetarium is currently closed due to renovation and modernisation.
