Public Observatory Regensburg, Public observatory at Regensburg, Germany.

The observatory includes two dedicated floors with three exhibition halls, a lecture room, and a dome containing advanced astronomical instruments.

Saint Emmeram's Abbey established two towers for astronomical observations in 1774, marking the beginning of the observatory's long scientific journey.

Professor Karl Stöckl initiated public lectures in 1920, transforming the observatory from an elite institution to an educational center for everyone.

The facility opens on Friday evenings, enabling visitors to observe celestial objects through multiple telescopes, including a 6-inch apochromat.

The observatory maintains a high-precision Riefler clock and houses both an 11-inch and 12-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for astronomical research.
