Lübeck observatory, Public observatory in Lübeck, Germany.
The observatory contains a 20-inch Ritchey-Chrétien telescope and a 140mm refractor for conducting astronomical observations of planets, stars, and solar phenomena.
Founded after World War II by Baltic astronomer Dr. Peter von der Osten-Sacken, the observatory relocated from Johannes-Kepler-Schule to Schule Grönauer Baum in 2021.
The Arbeitskreis Sternfreunde Lübeck association manages the facility, organizing regular public viewings, lectures, and educational programs about astronomy and celestial phenomena.
Public observations occur every Friday, with solar viewings from May to August between 4-6 PM and night sky observations from September to March starting at 9 PM.
The observatory dome accommodates ten visitors at a time, accessed through a steep ladder, while additional telescopes at ground level serve visitors with mobility restrictions.
