Menke-Planetarium, Planetarium in Glücksburg, Germany

The Menke-Planetarium sits on a hill by the Flensburg Fjord, featuring a modern dome projection system and two observatory towers with 9-meter observation domes.

The planetarium, founded by infrared physicist Josef Ferdinand Menke, opened its doors in 1969 and transferred to Flensburg University of Applied Sciences ownership in 2000.

The facility serves as an educational center where visitors learn about astronomy through regular presentations, including specialized programs for children every other Tuesday afternoon.

The planetarium accommodates 55 visitors per session and offers regular shows on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 PM, with additional special presentations available for schools and groups.

The northernmost planetarium in Germany includes a connected observatory with a coelostat, enabling direct solar observations and astronomical measurements.
