    There is an observatory here, which houses an amateur telescope (Zeiss Refractor AS 80/1200), built in 1961. It is mounted on a column tripod. The telescope has an equatorial mount Ib with a synchronous motor for electrical tracking.

    The Fangelturm was built into the city wall later in the 16th century. Originally, criminals were lowered into an underground hole. After this was walled up, two cells were set up above. From 1965 to 1991 an astronomical station was set up, which was used by the Barth schools.
