Sternwarte Neanderhöhe Hochdahl, Public observatory in Erkrath, Germany.

The Sternwarte Neanderhöhe Hochdahl is a public observation facility in Erkrath that features a planetarium seating 56 people under a 10-meter dome. The site sits on elevated ground, providing good conditions for viewing the night sky.

The facility was established in 1980 and developed into a center for astronomical education in North Rhine-Westphalia. Since its founding, it has continuously offered courses and events to share knowledge about the sky with the public.

The place draws astronomy enthusiasts who gather here to observe and share their interest in the sky. Programs are designed for people of all ages wanting to understand more about the stars and space.

A visit is best timed when skies are clear and starlight is not obstructed by clouds. Check the observatory's website for current opening times and what programs are running during your planned visit.

The planetarium shows use advanced full-dome projection technology that maps the entire sky across the interior of the dome. Special programs are tailored for children from age 10 and make complex space concepts easy to understand.
