Dr.-Remeis-Sternwarte, Astronomical observatory in Bamberg, Germany.

The Dr.-Remeis-Sternwarte features a two-story brick construction with sandstone rustications and two round observation towers equipped with rotating domes.

The observatory, constructed between 1888 and 1889 by architects Hermann Eggert and Max Ißleiber, initially served as a private institution before joining University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1962.

The institute maintains research partnerships with international observatories, using facilities in Chile, Canary Islands, and Germany while contributing to astronomical instrument development.

The facility welcomes visitors during scheduled public events and houses more than 50 staff members, including professors, researchers, and students from various academic levels.

This astronomical institute stands as the only modern facility in Germany that continues operations within its original nineteenth-century buildings from the 1880s.
