Kosmisches Sommerfest: Einstein-Edition

In the organizer's words:

"Everything is relative" - On June 14 from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Archenhold Observatory will be transformed into a galactic festival site: We celebrate Albert Einstein's revolutionary ideas and invite young and old to the Cosmic Summer Festival: Einstein Edition.

Look forward to 360° insights into the program of the Zeiss Small Planetarium, fascinating sky observations with the Cassegrain telescope and in the Solar Physics Cabinet as well as exciting lectures in the legendary Einstein Hall. Visit the world's longest movable refracting telescope on the roof of the observatory - a real highlight!

Outside, you can expect an illuminated planet trail, water and air rocket launches, hands-on stations for children, music and a relaxed atmosphere. Culinary refreshments are of course provided.

Celebrate Einstein's legacy with us

To mark the 110th anniversary of Albert Einstein's lecture on the general theory of relativity, this year we are inviting you to events in and around our buildings under the motto "Everything is relative". Almost 110 years ago, Albert Einstein gave the first public insight into his general theory of relativity in the large hall of the Archenhold Observatory in Berlin-Treptow, thereby creating a milestone for human knowledge. His groundbreaking ideas, which he presented on June 2, 1915 in Germany's largest and oldest public observatory, not only continue to shape science today, but also inspire lifelong learning and research.
