In 1968, the students Gunter Freydank and Jürgen Schulz began with astronomical observations. They built in the period from 1969 to 1972, a small observation station with a 12-cm telescope telescope, 1974-1977 followed by a 30 -cm Cassegrain telescope. At the same time, a sunroof observatory was built on the current location of the public observatory in its own efforts (Wikipedia).
