The Zeiss-Großplanetarium (Zeiss Grand Planetarium) is the most modern science theatre in Europe. It was erected as one of the last representative buildings of the former GDR on the occasion of Berlin’s 750th anniversary in 1987. Its dome with a diameter of 30 metres dominates the Berlin cityscape. A large planetarium hall with 307 seats and a cinema hall with 160 seats offer space for exciting forays through the world of astronomy and science. After modernisation lasting almost two years (2014 – 2016), the building is now equipped with new media technology and has also realigned its content. The planetarium no longer shows only astronomical programmes, but introduces visitors to the diversity of all natural sciences. Especially with the new full dome technology, scientifically challenging topics can be presented in an impressive and entertaining way. Music, culture and theatre round off the vast range of content available at the planetarium.
