Membership
In the beginning of the year 2012, the Argelander Institute of the University of Bonn discontinued scientific observation and academic training/exercise operations at the observatory for good, cutting of financial support as well.
The Hoher List Observatory - together with similar institutions such as the Bergedorf Observatory in Hamburg, the old Göttingen Observatory, or the Heidelberg State Observatory on the Königsstuhl - is one of the most important, history ladden scientific institutions in the Federal Republic of Germany. Also at Observatorium Hoher List pioneering astronomical research history was written, therefore the institution must be preserved at all costs!

your support. Become an active or supporting member of the
