The facility features a 12.5-meter dome that displays star projections using advanced equipment, accommodating 130 visitors during astronomical presentations.
The planetarium opened its doors in 1978 and received extensive renovations in 2021, moving from its original location to a repurposed gasometer building.
The planetarium bears the name of Sigmund Jähn, who completed a significant space mission in 1978 as the first German astronaut aboard Soyuz 31.
The planetarium organizes regular astronomy presentations, educational programs about celestial bodies, and special exhibitions focusing on space technology.
