Planetarium am Insulaner

The Planetarium am Insulaner is an observatory with a dome structure in Schoeneberg, featuring modern projection technology and a large star projector. The building provides a special setting through its architectural design where lectures are held and the night sky can be explored together.

After World War II, this site emerged as a place of scientific renewal, and in 1963 it received its distinctive Zeiss star projector. This made it one of the places where Berlin's interest in space and natural sciences was reawakened.

The facility brings visitors closer to the sky through its distinctive dome, showing how astronomy has shaped our view of the world. Inside, people gather to learn together and discover new ways of understanding the stars above.

The location at Munsterdamm offers good accessibility with several transit lines nearby, though a short walk from the nearest station is needed. Plan enough time for your visit, as the programs and exhibitions allow for longer stays.

The Zeiss projector, operational for decades, is one of the few still-functioning examples of its kind in Europe. Many visitors overlook how the massive dome visibly contains and brings the sky indoors from the outside.
