Hoher List Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Schalkenmehren, Germany.
The Hoher List Observatory stands at an elevation of 504 meters on a mountain near Daun, featuring multiple telescope domes for celestial observations.
The University of Bonn constructed the facility in 1954 to replace their original observatory, which had become affected by increasing light pollution.
Monthly astronomy lectures from February to November connect researchers with the public, followed by telescope viewing sessions of celestial objects.
Visitors can join guided tours on Saturdays from April through October, while evening observations occur from November through March depending on weather.
The facility houses specialized equipment including a Schmidt telescope with a 50-centimeter mirror and a one-meter Cassegrain telescope installed in 1966.
