Together with the experts of the Rhede-based optical precision equipment company "Meade Europe", a public observatory for Borken was planned in December 2002.
Already in May 2003, the "Josef Bresser Observatory" was inaugurated thanks to the support of Mr. Bresser and the city of Borken. Since then, in clear weather, the sky has been observed at the Josef Bresser Observatory in Borken (Hoxfeld).

The observatory is home to the largest telescope built to date - a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. With the help of this optics it is possible to observe many thousands of objects that can not be seen by the naked eye. For example, you can observe the moon, the planets of our solar system, galactic dust nebulae, star clusters, and very distant galaxies. The Josef Bresser Observatory is run by members of the Sternfreunde Borken e.V.
