    Foundation of the Observatory Bothkamp
    Translated by
    From 1870 - 1914 a private observatory was operated here.
    The largest existing telescope had an aperture of 29.3 cm and a focal length of 4.9 m, making it the largest in Germany at the time!
    The building was demolished in 1930 and the facility was placed in a museum in Kiel.
