Public Outreach

There are different opportunities for pupils to get insight into research and work at Hamburg Observatory.

Once in a month, at Hamburg Observatory public talks are held in German language. They are organized within the university-wide program of public lectures.

From October to April, every first Wednesday in a month, starting from 07:00pm, the observatory arranges guided tours with observation oppotunities at the telescopes.

Public guided tours take place every Saturday at 02:00 pm  and every Sunday at 12:00 am and at 02:00 pm.
They are organized by the vistors centre which offers a broad program of public events.

The Foerderverein, promotional association of Hamburg Observatory,  arranges various public events and is actively engaged in projects and measures for the preservation and restoration of the unique cutural monument.
