Urania, Science education center in Schöneberg, Germany.

The Urania building contains a lecture hall with 866 seats and operates as both an educational institution and a cultural venue for Berlin residents.

The venue presents over 1000 events annually, including scientific lectures, film screenings, and discussions that attract 130,000 visitors to its programs.

The facility maintains regular programming of educational podium discussions, film showings, and guided neighborhood walks in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district.
