    This is not just any observatory, this is the location of the Hainberg astrograph. Karl Schwarzschild and Ejnar Hertzsprung did research here. History of science was written here (Hertzsprung-Russell diagram)!
    Nowadays this area is lovingly looked after by the Amateur Astronomical Association Göttingen e.V. This also includes the possibility of public tours. Dates and a lot of interesting information can be found at avgoe.de. It is worth it!

      The observatory is located in the forest between Kehr and the Bismarck Tower. The special features have already been described. 😊
