New from May 2019: Our planetarium dome – the first fixed planetarium in Saarland
In November 2018, the space studio Nohfelden received a new attraction. With the help of THW Nohfelden, a new planetarium dome was installed. It can display the starry sky with all its diverse objects at any time and from any place in the world. Due to the 360° projection you have the impression that you are embedded in the scene. The planetarium tours are very suitable for a vivid journey through the firmament – even in bad weather. The software of a planetarium is suitable for various and entertaining presentations, where you can learn a lot of new things from the sky.
The planetarium is located in our (natural) barn. Therefore, it can only be operated in the warm season – usually between mid-April and the end of September. During other times, however, we can show the starry sky on a canvas.
Our new planetarium will be up and running during May 2019.

The complicated construction of the planetarium dome was only possible with the help of THW Nohfelden. Many thanks to all helpers! Below a gallery of the extensive construction:
