    The Walter Hohmann Observatory, named after the spaceflight pioneer Walter Hohmann, is a public observatory run by a non-profit organization that also participates in asteroid research: Since 2002, eleven new minor planets have been discovered and three previously lost ones rediscovered at the observatory.

    The grounds with the astronomical instruments are open to the public; here you can see various sheds housing telescopes, as well as a radio telescope with a three-meter diameter parabolic antenna.
