The stars still shine above Cologne's urban area - but noticeably less than in areas where the stars listed in star charts or planetarium programs can still be put together to form complete constellations. It is not at all easy to accept today's circumstances without doing anything in accordance with Article 1 of the Cologne Basic Law "Et es, wie et es". Major Tom has therefore taken the stars still visible in Cologne and - without the necessary seriousness - formed them into new Cologne constellations. Cologne's heroes, such as the "Kölsche Boor" or "de Kallendresser", can be found in the local firmament ...
Shortly before the great days, de Kölsche Stäänefründ Major Tom will guide you through his very personal Stäänekaat. Along the way, you will learn interesting facts about the history of star charts and modern planetarium programs.
With a twinkling eye, visitors will discover new orientation aids in the local starry sky.
