    On February 20, 1890 (288) Glauke the last asteroid was discovered from Dusseldorf. Altogether there were 24.
    In 1943, the observatory was destroyed during a bombing raid. The incandescent body of the telescope is today as a reminder in front of the west tower of Old St. Martin. If you look through the pipe, you can see the weathercock on the church tower.
    Also in honor of the observatory was a 1967 discovered asteroid "(4425) Bilk" called. Source: Wikipedia
