Public Outreach

Current note

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, public events are stilll restricted. In general, the observatory buildings are closed to the public. Events are being carried out online.

However, public guided tours take place again.

The observatory park is open 7/7, from 7:00 am to 10:00pm. A signboard tour (with English translations accessable through QR codes) informs the visitors about topics and methods of the current astrophysical research, about the historical buildings and instruments as well as  the history of Hamburg Observatory.

Our  virtual tour gives insight into the library and the Great Refractor building.
