From a monumental water tower to a window into the universe ✨🌌 The is fascinating both outside and in. Rising above the Stadtpark, the massive red-brick tower was completed in 1916 as a water tower and was transformed into a planetarium in 1930.

Today it’s one of Europe’s most modern planetariums, a “star theatre” where astronomy, science, music and art come together. Its main dome uses an incredibly sophisticated combination of Zeiss star projection, digital 8K 3D imagery, spatial 3D sound, lasers and light to create immersive journeys through the cosmos. 🔭🪐✨

And the celestial theme extends beyond the projection dome. Look up inside the building and you’ll find this beautiful painted star map, where constellations take shape through mythological figures, animals and signs of the zodiac, from Orion and Hercules to Pegasus, Cassiopeia and the Great Bear.

I love the contrast: monumental brick architecture on the outside, stars and mythology overhead on the inside, a building once designed to hold water, now dedicated to exploring the universe. 🧱🌌
