Gondelsheim Observatory
The Kraichgau Observatory in Gondelsheim was built in 1985 by G. Henneges and G. Kessler. The Gondelsheim Observatory has been a registered non-profit organization since February 1986.
Description
The observatory is located approx. 2 km from Gondelsheim near the water tank at Heuert. Turn off towards Dossental at the town entrance traffic circle, drive under the B35 and turn left there. The path now leads about 2 km up the hill where the observatory is located.
The observatory is open to the public on the first Wednesday of every month, provided the sky is clear.
The guided tours are conducted with several telescopes in small groups and the currently visible constellations are explained.
Groups can also be guided at other times by prior arrangement.
The members of the association meet at irregular intervals about every 6 weeks and give lectures on current topics in the field of astronomy.
Guests are also very welcome here!
