URANIA Volkssternwarte

In the location's words:

The Jena Observatory was founded in 1909 by astronomy enthusiasts from the Zeiss factory and since then has regularly opened its doors to anyone interested in the phenomena in the sky.

The aim is to bring the fascination of the night sky to life and to impart knowledge about astronomy and space travel. The focus is on the joy of observational astronomy, which visitors can experience up close.

Come during regular opening hours or special events to find out more about the celestial objects!
