Dr.-Remeis-Sternwarte, Astronomical observatory in Bamberg, Germany.
The Dr.-Remeis-Sternwarte is a two-story brick building with sandstone accents and two round observation towers topped with rotating domes for telescope access. The structure combines the practical demands of astronomical work with late 19th-century architectural design.
The facility was built between 1888 and 1889 by architects Hermann Eggert and Max Ißleiber as a private observatory. It became part of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1962 and has operated as an academic research center since then.
The observatory is named after its founder Karl Remeis and operates today as a research and teaching facility of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. It serves as a hub for astronomical work in the region.
The facility welcomes visitors during scheduled public events and offers insights into astronomical research and teaching. It is best to check visiting times beforehand, as the site is primarily used for research and educational work.
The observatory is one of the few astronomical facilities in Germany that continues to operate within its original buildings from the 1880s. This makes it a living example of scientific continuity spanning over a century.
