Hamburg Planetarium

The Hamburg Planetarium occupies a 65-meter-tall cylindrical structure with white walls and red brick details in the center of Hamburg Stadtpark.

Originally constructed as a water tower between 1912 and 1915, the building transformed into a planetarium in 1930 under architect Oskar Menzel's design.

The planetarium presents astronomical shows, celestial projections, and musical performances throughout the year, attracting 300,000 visitors annually to its educational programs.

Two elevators transport visitors to the Star Hall and observation deck, while the renovated historical staircases connect seven floors named after different planets.

The facility features an 8K dome projection system, 70 speakers for 3D audio, and Europe's first panoramic 3D theater for immersive space experiences.
